View Full Version : How do I remove unsubscribed channels from On Demand?

My On Demand lists lots of programs from channels I don't receive (eg STARZ, TMC, SHOW, FMC, ENCORE, and FLIX), so while there are shows in the catalog - I'm unable to download and watch any of them. I get the message that says:

Would you like to add this channel to your DIRECTV package? Visit directv.com or call 1-800-DIRECTV to subscribe.

Is there a way I can somehow remove those unwatchable programs/channels I don't subscribe to from the list to make navigation and selection of downloadable content much easier?

I went into Favorites and have unselected STARZ from the Channel Guide (both the 52X series and the 152X series) - but that only removes those channels from the Guide and not any of the programs from On Demand. Anything else I should try?

Unfortunately I don't think there is any way to do that. It would be a nice thing to have, however.

try going into the list of on demand channels starting with channel 1000 in your favorites and remove them that way.

Tried that - doesn't work.

Do other people without STARZ have this same problem?

Yep. We can only hope that DirecTV will find a way to fix it. Until then, remember this is still called "beta." :rolleyes:

Is it really a beta if it is a national release?

Tune to channel 1000 and the title in the upper left corner says "DirecTV On-Demand Beta."
