Hi Kliphton,
No, it's not the way to have to do it. But if it works for now, then that's what matters. I did discover these tabs at one point. I can't remember exactly where I was when I discovered them. I think I had a channel on. But I couldn't access those either. In a way, I feel it's just like cable. I couldn't ever watch anything on-demand without sighted help, or on pay-per-view. But at least I could go right to a channel. Now what is this thing with Direct tv I'm hearing of? I don't know how to look it up, or I would. But I don't know what to look for. Thank you, Terri On 11/13/2016 10:04 AM, Kliphton Miller wrote: > Yes, going threw the channels with someone sited is very helpful. Should we > have to do it?
