The DirecTV online TV listings includes two local stations that we do not see on our systems here (Metro Atlanta) -- WBRC & WVTM (Fox & NBC Birmingham respectively). Is that something that I should be looking for on the air soon?

From TVWeek.com: Ovation TV Signs Carriage Deal with DirecTV Ovation TV has signed a carriage agreement with DirecTV, which will launch the arts channel in mid-2007. Ovation currently reaches 5.3 million customers. Adding DirecTV, which has 16 million subscribers, should provide a...

Is there any special reason that the channel mapping on the R15 has gone from XXXX to XXX-XX? As a result of the remapping, Channel 1000 has gone away...

According to The Futon Critic (http://www.thefutoncritic.com/cgi/pr.cgi?id=20060112sleuth01 ), NBCUniversal has signed agreements with DirecTV and Dish Network to carry Sleuth "by Summer 2006." No dates listed for when they'll launch on D* or E* though...

I'm seeing a slot for MASN (Mid-Atlantic Sports Network) on channel 626 this morning - no programming listed though. MASN is the cable home for the Washington Nationals, and apparently (at least according to a Washington Post piece I saw online recently), will become the home for the Orioles...

US Superstaions as separate tier on SC/BEV? Stupid question: I've noted that the US Superstations available on SC/BEV (WSBK, WPIX, WWOR, WGN, WTBS, KTLA) all appear to be lumped in with the premium movie channels in terms of availability. Are they available unbundled from the movie channels?

From Multichannel News: And of course those of us who like rugby or Aussie Rules football are screwed yet again.

US coverage of the Asian earthquake disaster has been dismal at best. Newsworld International has not given us much, yet BBC World and Sky News have provided wall-to-wall coverage. The 9.0 quake and 8.0+ aftershocks have generated multiple tsunamis that have swept over the eastern Indian...

I've been interested in getting a Canadian system to supplement my D* system for quite a while now. I'm looking for more programming choices, plus additional time-shifting on my present programming. Cost is an issue (obviously), with quality as a secondary concern. Which system is going to...

With word that DirecTV has added EcuaVisa to ParaTodos on Channel 421 today, I've gotta finally say something. D* keeps adding Spanish language SD channels at will, but the only new English language SD channel they've seen fit to add is GAC!? Come on! I've heard all the promises of new...
