DIRECTV Transponder Map ~ Data 10/22/2025

[KyL416]

Here we go again, expect channel name, descriptions, and logo changes in the 600s

The rebrand to FanDuel Sports Network is happening tomorrow.

EDIT: Officially the rebrand took effect at midnight ET

 

[PioneerDJ]

as far as the new FDSN logos on the DTV guide, they look small and the regional moniker is barely readable (Detroit, Sun, Florida, etc)... and they won't display "extra" on the overflow channels (same logo_id as on the main channel)
