Not to mention, you will need to have both Echo 7 and Echo 8 installed and working.

Even though the locals are on Echo 8, the guide resides on Echo 7. So, if you do not have Echo 7, the local remapping will not work. I would simply get another dish and sight in Echo 7, it's a great satellite.

Hope this clarifies why the locals are not remapping for some of you.

And, yes, Echo 7 and Echo 8 remapping obviously would not work for Canadian users, they are U.S. birds.
