That's a poor statement, VU+ might lose business in Asia, due to this problem, but as I've mentioned, most of us have no access to these higher S/R channels, so don't even notice.
Others have mentioned a VU+ receiver that does pick up these channels, a newer model, so hopefully they will research the problem, and either come up with a fix, or at least inform owners of the cause, of the problem.
Some of the psots, on this thread, and other threads, are simply designed to keep the problem highlighted, but this forum has nothing to do with the VU+ manufacturers, so perhaps you should keep contacting VU+, and publicising the problem, on other platforms.
