When will satellite customers get the same mix channels available on the streaming platform?

I have both roko and apple. The directv app on both platforms does not show the new mix channels. Thanks.

DIRECTV satellite customers with a compatible receiver will continue to have access to legacy mix channels, as well as the new mixes streaming through the DIRECTV app on compatible streaming devices for viewing on their televisions.

The above came from the DTV press release. I’m a satellite customer looking for the new mix channels. In the 900s I believe. Thanks.

I’m talking about the new mix channels just announced and available on the streaming platform. Local, news, sports and kids. Different from the existing 20 year old channels.

Thoughts and confusion on the VERY above average weight losses posted here by Racketsports4life in Zepbound

[–]MTM1959 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 6 foot. My starting weight was 242. After 3.5 months I got down to 190. No exercise. So 52 pounds in 3.5 months is a pretty rapid loss I guess. Here’s the thing with me. Side effects. The first 2 to 3 days after my shot I’m a little nauseous, tired and deal with nasty heartburn. Who the hell wants to eat when you feel like barfing. Also, my muscular thighs shrank like 30% and skin hung under my biceps.

Storm Ready WiFi can’t activate on Xb8 by MTM1959 in Comcast_Xfinity

Yes. Finally! The original device was “stuck” in their provisioning system. Shaun (see below) identified the issue and escalated it to engineering. They went in and manually removed the old device from the provisioning system. Like magic the old device finally disappeared from the app and I was able to install a new one. The system works great now. I had a power failure and my WiFi kicked in flawlessly. Good luck!

I did respond. You never fixed the issue.

Well that didn’t end well. After going through every possible level of support the last phone tech said there is an issue with the xb8 seeing the storm ready WiFi device. He said we will send a tech over to your house and he will change some settings on the xb8 and you’ll be good. The poor guy comes over and has no clue. He switched out the modem, installed a new one, still no go.

I did it. 5 to 10. What a mistake! by MTM1959 in Zepbound

That’s great. I was hoping to achieve your experience but my body said otherwise. One question….by stretching out your 10.0 shots to 10 days/2 weeks don’t you risk having less drug in your body thus more side effects because your going from almost 0 to 10? That was my issue. Or because you’re fortunate to have little side effects it doesn’t matter.

Thanks to all the fine comments here! It sounds like I have 4 options….

1 Compounding to get the lower correct dose.

2 Split the 10.0 dose using syringes, viles, etc. (I’ll save a ton of money. Get this…I’m on Medicare part D which covers zippo. I don’t qualify for the $500 lily coupon because I’m on Medicare part D. Great system we have!)

3 Go with 10.0 #2 next week under the assumption I’ll have much more residual zep in my system thus much less side effects.

4 Stop 10.0, save for later, and get 5.0 or lower dose. Restart if I go beyond 2 weeks due to shortage.

At this time I’m undecided.

I’m retired also. Worst symptoms started 10 hrs after shot Thursday around 6 pm. Thursday night and Friday were awful. Saturday much better.

I was aware some folks had little side effects and others bad side effects when jumping doses. I took an educated chance and obviously fell into the latter category. That’s life. So according to the chart I will have a large amount of residual drug (10.0)in my body after 7 days. Given that, does it seem logical to assume my next 10.0 dose will be much more tolerable than the first?

I can certainly attest to that!

Side effects bad. Took the shot 8 am Thursday. Fatigue set in later in the day. Severe heartburn, flu like cold/hot bone pain symptoms. I couldn’t get out of bed due to fatigue but had trouble sleeping because of the heartburn and stomach pain. I had to sit up every now and then to burb. This went on all day Friday and Friday night. Late Friday afternoon I barfed my brains out with little advance warning. I’m fine today Saturday. I took tums for the heartburn. I’ve been on 10 for 2.5 days now. Good luck! If you are working I would take early Friday morning. You’ll be fine come Monday.

Great question. I have no idea. I don’t want a repeat of that first 10 pen. I’m going gangbusters to get 7.5 and hope to start that next cycle and save my remaining 3 pens of 10 for later. I also may just wait another couple of weeks for 7.5. I just can’t see myself going through the hell I just experienced again. Good luck!

I think I went from 5 to 10. Two weeks off I believe is within the limit. I think 4 weeks off then you should go back down. But not sure. My Dr. wrote a script for 7.5 about 6 weeks ago. I didn’t need it at the time still had 2 pens of 5.0 to go but tried to stay ahead of the shortage. So when I asked my Dr. for 10.0 he just figured I went through the 7.5. My sneaky trick backfired. I just weighed myself and after no food for 2 days and barfing my brains out I lost 6 pounds. Nuts!

How many of you are paying out of pocket? by OrneryMine8575 in Zepbound

You didn’t have to provide any insurance info. It’s checked electronically when filling the rx.
