When will Directv come out with Customized Mix channels that the customers can select the 4 or more channels they want to watch. You’ve already got News Mix, College Mix and other Mix Channels which tells me you could also program additional channels with other features that could include live golf

Just upgraded our 20-year-old avr with a Denon avr-S570BT. I have searched for hours to try to find an answer to why I cannot get it to pair with our Genie RC73 remote. The set up is the genie runs to the avr via HDMI in the SAT port, then from the avr to the tv via the monitor port to the HDMI arc
