    DIRECTV Transponder Map ~ Data 4/10/2024

    Hey, a question. ... I'm currently paying $11.99/mo. already for Paramount+ on our andriod/IOS streaming devices. Is this now (or will be) called "Showtime with Paramount+" too? And on the DIRECTV account, which is in my brother's name. We have Showtime added ala cart for $12.99/mo., which is...

    DIRECTV Transponder Map ~ Data 4/10/2024

    Interesting how local KDOC 56 carrying the religious "TCT" channel here in the LA market has recently been removed. With a slide directing viewers to channel 377 for (what I guess) a main national feed of the same programming from what I can tell. Whereas I would think it should be the other...

    DIRECTV Transponder Map ~ Data 4/10/2024

    H&I 385 as also on here in the LA Market as well in addition to MeTV's local outlet KVME 20 (Although 385 is the east coast feed). So I guess this contract agreement with MeTV is different than the one for MeTV on ch. 77 which is blacked-out here and must be viewed on local KAZA 54. Sent from...

    DIRECTV Transponder Map ~ Data 4/10/2024

    Yeah ... MeTV on satellite ch. 77 is indeed grayed-out here in LA since it's carried on our local KAZA 54. At least the west coast network feed is, whereas ch. 77 appears to be east coast. .... Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk

    7 (SD) chs now free (HD)

    I remember DIRECTV allowed any local HD channels they carried to be received in HD on R22s with SD accounts in MPEG-4 local markets. But that was all .... Sent from my LM-V600 using Tapatalk

    7 (SD) chs now free (HD)

    They're flat out wrong ... The HR22 is both MPEG-2/4 capable, and has been from its inception many years ago now. Just out of curiosity though, what box are they offering you to upgrade to? Considering that even their last non-Genie STB, the HR24, is hard to find nowadays.... Sent from my...

    Who here has an Echo device?

    Have an Echo 5 and 8 here ... And while I find that Google Voice Assistance actually works better. For obvious reasons being the competitive service, it really won't work with our ring security cameras. Therefore the need for the Amazon voice assistance based Echoes. ...

    OWN West SD 279-1

    I suppose you obviously meant that it's HD on ch. 279 (OWN) not 347 (OAN) ....

    Can someone tell me what channels come from sat 101

    Or for the more "technically exacting" to compliment gct's informative post [emoji5] ... At 101W, D9S supplies 44 local spotbeam tps. distributed over 26 spotbeams to CONUS. And D16 supplies 26 nationwide tps. on two fully overlapping CONUS + AK wide beams (13 odd numbered tps. on one beam and...

    Yep, never waste time watching it here in LA on KTLA 5-4 (CW outlet station).

    Can someone tell me what channels come from sat 101

    Both 101 and 119W have actually carried SD locals for many years. However, with the somewhat recent retirement of the old spotbeam capable satellite from 119W (D7S). Only a token few SD locals now remain on 119W today. All broadcast on 11 national beam tps. by the D8 satellite moved over to...

    Can someone tell me what channels come from sat 101

    In short SD nationals are on tps. 1-3, 5-11, 13-17, 19, 21-27, and 29-32 and SD spotbeam locals on tps. 4, 12, 18, 20, 26 and 28. So showing 0 or very low signal levels on the spotbeam tps. is normal as they're carrying out of market local channels not intended to your location. 101W is also...

    DIRECTV SD / HD Changes coming

    Or just continue to keep tabs with the Edgecutter forum. As they'll certainly post when the HD on Ku band transition begins to occur. .... Sent from my LM-V600 using Tapatalk

    AT&T completes DIRECTV spinoff.

    Me too back in the 80's .... But with a multiple TV household of a Mother (Father passed back in 1970) and 4 other siblings at the time. The big movable dish C-band buds obviously wouldn't work since they can only point and receive programming from one satellite at a time. So we had to live...

    DIRECTV SD / HD Changes coming

    That's what I thought nowadays as well. ... The names "MTV" and "VH1" have long been misnomers from the '80s era when they actually were genuine music video channels. Whereas all they show today is reality TV junk. Or has even that gone out of style for those channels now? ... Sent from my...
