Did Directv turn off MPEG 2 channels?

Did Directv turn off MPEG 2 channels 70, 73, 75 this week? I can still receive channels 72, 74, 76 and 79 on my HR10 250 TIVO.

Still getting them here in both HR-20s

You might want to check to make sure you're still receiving the 110 and 119 satellites.

Mine are working fine

Maybe my dish got out of alignment...I get decent signal strength on 101 and 119, but nothing on 110. Could this cause only channels 70, 73, 75 and 78 not be seen?

Could a mis*aligned dish cause only channels 70, 73 75 and 78 to not be seen by my hr10 250 Tivo while still seeing the other channels 72, 74, 79?

You could have a bad 110 LNB or Sat-C combiner.

This is strange: Lyngsat is showing 70, 71, 73, 75, 76, 78 , 80 (plus 509 and 543, which mirror 70 and 71) on 110, but no HD on 101 or 119. I knew the MPEG2 HD channels were going away but didn't know it was already happening.

Edit: The channels show up on my HR20, so I guess Lyngsat is wrong.

There are only a few channels on 110 sat (like 4 or 6). The rest of the MPEG-2 HDs are on 119.
