We want to help change how you feel about our experience @JuliePanda.

Let's go over some steps to tackle this:

1. Let's try to opt in again for the channel you mention.

2. If you get the message that it was already opted in, please keep in mind that the confirmation takes up to 72 hours to fully process.

3. If more than 72 hours have already passed, please try refreshing your service.

4. Once the service is refreshed, please unplug the main receiver from the power outlet for about 20 seconds and then plug it back in.

Following the steps above should help get this fixed. Please give it a try and let us know the results.

Do you want the problem fixed or not? If so, then continue with the troubleshooting. It might be an issue with the authorizations on the account side, which would take them to do a refresh/restart of service on their end or to submit a trouble ticket if you are part of a group where the channels were opted-in but the system is having an error.

Otherwise if you don't care to further troubleshoot to get it fixed, then either accept you will go without or call and cancel service. But just ranting and refusing anything to resolve the situation (in one way or another), is only yourself wasting your own time.

@JuliePanda, we want to restore your channel.

 

We just sent message to your DM and we need to continue the process there to authenticate your account and proceed to fix it.

 

Thank you

@ Juniper if you can read I have already done every thing they told me to do this has been going on for days that is why I say they are wasting my time if you need to know I'm not on here all day to respond back I only watch the Darn channel once in a while .. which I record and binge watch later when I get a chance so please don't comment of things you don't know  Thank you & God Bless you

@JuliePanda 

The official help team sent you a Direct Message (DM) since they would need to take a look at your specific account (private information not to be shared in a public space).

You then responded in the thread they would be just wasting their time. That implied you weren't going to accept any attempt at help which questions why you were here in the first place.

So try any remaining help they offer, call to cancel, or just move on accepting things the way they are.

Don't expect the DM response to be quick. They are a small team, but hopefully it would be faster support than how some companies are with support by email. There has definitely something going on with the opt-in with those channels recently, so hope they can track down the issue for your account and get it fixed.

Good luck.
