MeTV Toons. I see what you did there, lol!

They have been for a while now:

I think that's a data channel used for program guide listings on over-the-air (OTA) stations that appear in the guide alongside the satellite local channels if an antenna is connected. WNPB is the callsign of a PBS station in West Virginia.

While exploring the DirecTV.com/locals page, I came across generic “NBC East” channels, which appear to be for markets where Nexstar owns the local NBC affiliate. They are shown as being only on Stream. I checked the Scranton and Elmira listings and saw such channels, but no such channel for...

BTW, I have not been getting any "Missing guide info" or "Acquiring guide data" error messages.

As of this morning, most of the aforementioned channels are back to normal. However, the Kids Mix (189) and most of the Sat Test channels still say TBA.

I see. I just went to 811 and it says "To Be Announced" at the top but I still hear the music and it even shows the title/artist/album info.

All of the in-house networks (like the Sports Packages channel and Mix channels) are even displaying TBA in the guide. Is there some kind of guide data delivery issue?

For whatever reason, a whole bunch of my Music Choice channels are now displaying To Be Announced. Specifically: 801, 803, and everything after 811.

The guide listings for the Satellite Test channels have changed. Instead of saying "Satellite Test Channel" followed by the type of satellite and transponder, it is now as follows: 9501, 9502, 9506, 9507, 9510, and 9511 now say To Be Announced. 9504, 9505, 9508, and 9509 now say Installation...

I don’t know if this is affecting everybody, but ever since search predictions were restored, I’m having a bit of an issue with searches. If I search something (let’s say “black screen”) and press my keyboard’s Enter button, I get redirected to a single thread that doesn’t quite relate to what I...

I believe that's a graphic generated by the receiver. It's tuned to a SiriusXM music channel in your pic, and those are just audio-only feeds, so there would just be a black screen otherwise. It's kinda like how the Music Choice channels on DirecTV show the DirecTV logo before they then show a...

I saw a similar thing on channel 9760. I then rented a movie via channel 125, and watched it. Now I'm just (hopefully) waiting for the credit.

Just got a message on my boxes that says the HSN Shop by Remote feature is no longer available as of 5/23. I believe they already got rid of a similar feature on QVC a while back.
