StarterConsumer sample - can't connect

I'm trying to run a Starter Consumer TS1 sample, but I can't even connect, here are some excerpts from the log file:

I've checked and no app is listening on port 14002

any advice ?

Hi @rottor

To consume TS1 data you need to connect to a valid source of TS1 data. Please speak to your Market Data team or your Reuters account manager for the connectivity parameters.

Using localhost for the hostName value is for when you run a local provider application - for example you could run StarterConsumer and StarterProvider_Interactive locally and the Provider will publish dummy data when requested by the Consumer - see the RFA_QuickStartGuide.pdf (in the docs folder) for more details and good high level overview of Consumers / Providers etc.

However, if you are interested in consuming TS1 data then you will need to connect to a real feed which provides TS1 data - as I dont believe we have a example app that publishes dummy TS1 data.
