Channel numbers / remote to choose channel numbers
Hi, I signed up for DirecTv Stream, and downloaded the app on my dad’s Samsung CU7000 smart tv. I was surprised that I could choose to sort the channels on the guide by channel numbers.
I’ve already ordered the DirecTv Stream box and remote, and it should arrive in a few days.
But I am wondering if I can use any universal remote (in the meantime) so that my dad can press/input numbers to choose channels..?
And since I see the channel numbers already, does that mean I really don’t need the DirecTv Stream box? (Though I like the look of the remote that goes with it)
Thanks for any help!!

I know exactly where I’m posting as I selected the DirectTV Stream thread (look at the top where it shows DirectTV Stream).
All of you may be right, and DirectTV Stream may not do anything. However, towards the end of my career, I decided I wanted to help keep Parties out of Court so I began Mediating (I handled about 500 cases). I learned that often times a Party (regardless of individual or big business) starts with a hard no, but when they start looking at things from a different perspective, they can judge their risk vs reward in a whole new light.
While I suspect someone in Finance has come up with this business model, if they considered the potential risk vs reward of proving this, they might very well determine it’s a possibility that it might actually be more lucrative to make the change because they’ll keep more subscribers and pick up a lot of new ones looking for this feature.
More households are cutting the cord, and have returned cable boxes; being required to get another one to be able to change channels easier is a turnoff. Being able to do it from the remotes already being used for the streaming devices giving access to DirectTV Stream would be a huge advantage.

You can message them directly on Twitter and express your desire for this feature, and it will be passed along for consideration. If enough customers contact them with logical reasons why they want the feature, like I listed, then they’ll be more inclined to act on it. It will start with a bot, and then tell it it doesn’t answer your question. From there, you’ll be asked to verify you’re human, and then you can start messaging with an Agent.

@givemeglenn Are you saying that you are currently messaging with an Agent of DTV regarding this? I didn't see that you had mentioned that in any of your previous posts. If so, go for it!
