Rearrange and remove channels

@Ludwick577 - the reason you might not have seen requests to allow editing and rearranging of the channel list is that you apparently are fairly new.  We (longer term subscribers) have been asking for that feature for many years, with no action on AT&T's part, and now no action on DirecTV's.  For the most part, people have stopped asking for features like that since it doesn't seem to accomplish anything.  But it would still be very desirable - especially if they added profiles - a feature that was (vaguely) promised almost 4 years ago but which obviously never happened.

@litzdog911 - you can set up favorites on any device - they are part of the account, not part of the device.  The DirecTV device has some advantages, but also some disadvantages - you can't say it is unconditionally "the best".  

The apps for almost all the devices now share the same 2 sorting options - numerical (using DirecTV channel numbering) and alphabetical.  It so happens that neither of those are the order I'd prefer.  

And "favorites" aren't a replacement for being able to edit the channel list.  They only apply to the EPG - they don't impact channel up/down "surfing", which still shows all channels even if in favorite mode.  

And (still lacking profiles) favorites are shared, so if there are multiple users of the same account, they all share the same favorites, which doesn't really make them favorite...

The bottom line is that I agree with @pbgulfgirl - the UI feature set is lacking and has been from the start, with very few enhancements over the years.  AT&T apparently didn't want to invest development dollars in the service - to be seen if DirecTV chooses to.  None of this should be a surprise to the Product Marketing team, but since they don't provide any mechanism for users to directly offer input, it isn't clear to what extent the powers that be are really aware - it is clear that Support doesn't provide a path.

(@litzdog911 - as an ACE, you may remember that a couple of years ago I requested in the ACE place a session where we could discuss such issues with the Marketing and Development team.  "You know who" indicated he was attempting to arrange one, but nothing ever happened, which I take to mean that under AT&T they didn't really care enough to do it.  As I said, it is TBD if DirecTV will be different, but there's still no mechanism to directly provide input...)
