    Terre Haute "locals"

    Recently, they've begun importing nearby CW HD in markets where no CW affiliate exists. Albany GA via Jacksonville FL, Biloxi MS via New Orleans are two recent examples.

    Sports Pack question: LSU-McNeese State game in southwest La.

    The issue with this game was this: FS Southwest and FS Houston only carry the SEC on FSN games in SEC territory (on an alternate feed). Outside of SEC territory, they carry a different game. Since those channels are based outside of Louisiana and Arkansas, the usual FS Southwest and FS Houston...

    gospel music channel

    I think you misread an old press release. GMC launched an HD simulcast on November 27th last year. While the press release is a little confusing because it mentions DirecTV, it does not indicate the HD feed will launch on DirecTV.

    Denver HD??

    Make sure you are looking at the spotbeam transponders and not the CONUS ones. 99B or 99S (not 99A or 99C) 103A or 103S (not 103B,103CA,or 103CB)

    Locals in Monroe, Louisiana DMA

    I suspect it may have something to do with carriage of the CW on KNOE-2. DirecTV has that channel up in test along with KNOE and KACY. Just a hunch.

    Denver HD??

    The data should be correct as of a week ago today. The new sat is at 103, and that's where all of the re-arranging took place. If you aren't seeing anything on 99 (make sure you're looking at 99B or 99S and not 99A or 99C), then you should see something on the 103A or 103S transponders.

    Denver HD??

    I'm sure it was more cost-effective. The only HD local network channels using national bandwidth are ABC/CBS/Fox/NBC from New York and Los Angeles, and that's because those are used for DNS. By the way, despite the fact that two different sats are being used to cover the Denver market, there...

    Denver HD??

    To cover more of the market, Denver HD locals are actually available from two separate satellites. You can receive them from either... 99 transponders 15 and 22 or 103 transponders 15 and 23

    Directv droping local ABC station

    This is true. The only exception I can think of is PBS in North Carolina, where both the primary HD feed and the UNC-EX subchannel is carried in the HD markets.

    Directv droping local ABC station

    It actually has to do with the company that owns the station, and not the network the station belongs to (the exception would be stations owned and operated by the networks, which are usually in larger markets). In this case, the contract is between DirecTV and News-Press & Gazette, who owns...

    Directv droping local ABC station

    That is untrue. DirecTV carries several subchannels, mainly CW and MyNetworkTV affiliates.

    MLB Packages on Directv available in Hawaii

    Hi Dennis, When he referred to KHON2, he was probably referring to the KHON digital subchannel 2-2, which is a CW affiliate. Dish Network apparently offers this channel as well, although the lookup tool is being a little strange and indicates it is on channel 0 (but it should also be on channel...

    DIRECTV Announces New HD!

    Actually DirecTV LA is not the same thing as the Spanish-language packages for United States subscribers. It is a different service with completely different channel packages for countries in Central and South America. There are far fewer HD channels offered to those counties than there are...

    DIRECTV and HISTORY(TM) Offer 3D Tour of 'THE UNIVERSE'

    All three are at 103. ESPN3D is part time, so it shares space with one of the Cinema channels.

    College Football

    Most of the SEC Network games were on RSNs and not blacked out. There are a few PPV games on GP, but it's not always worth the cost as most of those games are scheduled blowouts against smaller schools. Since each SEC school only has one PPV a season now, it would almost be more worth it to just...

    st.louis hd channels.

    103s is the one you should be looking at, because those are the spotbeam transponders for the satellites around 103w. You are correct that St Louis HD locals should be on tps 15 and 23. I made a chart to make it a little bit easier to see which cities you should be seeing on each transponder.

    My thoughts after 2 weeks on DirecTv vs. last 10 years on Dish

    They also just added another. Check out KAZT.

    99s and 103s with HR23 and SW3

    Does your configuration allow you to see 119? Most of your locals are on 119, with the exception of KIXE which is on 101. The HD locals are on 99 and 103, but unfortunately DirecTV doesn't offer them in your area yet.

    OTA channels with D*

    I've used an AM21 with a non-DVR HD receiver before. I don't remember if it was a 21. I think it would work still.

    2 new SD channels not in the guide?

    I don't suspect they would show up on SD receivers even if they could see those sats. Kinda like the HD-only local markets.

    2 new SD channels not in the guide?

    Both of these channels are MPEG-4 SD on DirecTV 12. Time to bite the bullet and get HD, Ice! :D
