Did that but no LOCAL is shown in the SAT menu option...just Echo 8/10, BEV, Echostar, and ALL SATS.

If you set up your locals as I said then just hit the number key on the remote that your locals are normally on like CBS Channel 2 you would hit just the 2.

I would try an auto scan and then select the Echo Star Package then enter you local channel number. I am in Missouri.

I followed your procedure several times on my VS Ultra but the "LOCAL PACKAGE" does NOT appear as a choice in that menu. Btw, Im only pulling from Bird 8/10 and no other bird. My region is set properly and local channels are selected for. I cant even get my local channels 2, 4, 5, 7, 9, 11, or 13 when I key in each of those numbers. Ive got the latest bin and factory files too.

Try different numbers, 2 and 3 don't come in for me but 4, 5, 7, 9, 11 do..
All numbers are not going to come in but you will get some locals.

Hope they fix this issue soon for all but they are mostly concentrating on DN and not Bev.

As an example,
If your living in Vancouver, Beautiful British Columbia, Canada
you can pick up Seattle, Washington locals.
