Logo Update

[ejb1980]

Directv seems to have done a nearly-guide wide logo update. Several channels that didn't have logos now do. Several others have new ones. A few of the black-on-black logos have been fixed. These are for HD feeds, where applicable.

Now have logos: Newsmax 349, Fusion 342, Discovery Family 294, Longhorn Network 677.

Notable updates: HLN 202, Unimas 66/408, TruTV 246, WeTV 260, History Channel 269, ESPN Deportes 432.

Updates that remove black-on-black (therefore virtually invisible) logos: NBC Sports Network 220, Encore Classic 537, TNT 245, Sundance TV 557

Errors: Ovation 274 is now black-on-black. Nat Geo Wild 283 has a Nat Geo Mundo logo that is different than the logo on the actual Nat Geo Mundo channel.

There are others, but those are the highlights. There are still some missing - ion HD 305, Inspiration 364, Uplift 379, Once 447 and more.

Can you tell it's cold outside?

I am not seeing any of the updates you mention. Fusion, Longhorn, Discovery Family, Newsmax, etc. still don't have logos.

I have the HR44-500 if that matters.

Guess they must have finally paid their graphic artist.

Logos, and other graphic files, seem to be a separate software package that's upgraded randomly.

Must be. I am using the HR34 on 0x0987 software. The logos update will come eventually.

If you enjoyed this post as much as I did then you're a TV Nerd too. Love the "Inside Baseball" style posts. Great Job!

Wonder if they will fix the ESPN logo where the HD portion of the logo is black

There are a few channels like that. I never noticed until last night that "Sports" is written in black under "Root" on the Root channels. Some channels have been on Directv for years still don't have logos - ion HD, SNY, FSSD, and more.

Any chance the logos will be updated on the HR2x models?

Here are some of them. I emailed them about Nat Geo Wild and the ones with missing logos. They told me that they forwarded my message to their graphics people. Who knows if they actually did...

Okay, fair enough. I just know you said earlier Newsmax was one of them, and there's no new logo there.

I didn't take pics of all of them. Here's a couple more...

I wish Newsmax, Arirang, CCTV, and select other SD stations weren't broadcast in smush-o-vision... Some are letterbox/postage like Discovery Family. Some are proper 16:9 SD like BYU TV.

I am glad the couch positions us so there's not glare, yikes that's bad!

I wonder why I have them and others don't.

I thought the TNT logo was a gold color?

For 245 TNT: 245 SD is gold, 245 HD is now white. It was black for a while, making it like Ovation in the picture - virtually invisible.
