First of all thank you for all your hard work.
I LOVE my Viewsat PRO. When Viewsat was targeted a few months back it was the only STB left standing. I only have one issue with it- no ability to list the channels alphabetically. Every time Dish moves around the channels I can easily redo my channels on my Extreme. All I have to do is delete all the channels, rescan, then first sort alphabetically so I can eliminate all those networks that are duplicated 2-3 times (KTLA, CNNNEWS, DIY for example) Then I just get rid of the worthless channels (shopping, Lifetime)

All that takes me 10 minutes tops.
But for the PRO I have to go through and write down all the network abbreviations and channels so I can manually find the duplicates to erase. TOO TEDIOUS. Took me over an hour last time. I have at least 4 or 5 dead channels right now cause TP was changed. I'm just too lazy too redo lately.

Just an idea! Have a great day!
