DIRECTV Transponder Map ~ Data 6/11/2025

[lordodogg]

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.

 

[Tom Speer]

Some of the Music Choice channels names are coming back.

 

[lordodogg]

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.

 

[lordodogg]

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

Weekly Analysis for 6/04/2025:

 

[KyL416]

WUSO out, USO in

Curiosity Stream On Demand is testing on channel 1936

9752 SWITCH and 9754 PPGEM are live

The Mix channels now have unique logos

WPXL/49 New Orleans is now using its callsign as a label instead of ION

 

[KyL416]

KTXS Abilene's studio building and studio transmitter link were destroyed by straight line winds at around 11:13pm CT Sunday night. So their ABC and CW affiliates are off the air, while their sister stations KABB San Antonio and KEYE Austin are producing some online newscasts. Stream customers and app users are getting a fallback ABC National feed that uses ABC News Live as filler.

EDIT: For now they're going to operate their newsroom out of Abilene Chrisitian University

I'm hearing DTV is now in dispute with WMDN CBS in Merdian, Mississippi

 

[lordodogg]

They have been for a while now:

There's a dispute with with Big Horn Television Group, the actual owner of WMDN/24 Meridian, MS. (Their only other station is the CBS affiliate for the unserved Casper DMA). It's now repurposing Dispute Slide 2 Test 9110

 

[KyL416]

There's also now a dispute with Vision Alaska, who owns Anchorage's ABC affiliate KYUR and their CW subchannel.

There's also now a dispute with Vision Alaska, who owns Anchorage's ABC affiliate KYUR and their CW subchannel.

TV Promise is showing other ways for those impacted in that DMA how to watch the rest of the NBA Finals including Hulu

Weekly Analysis for 6/11/2025

 

[KyL416]

Prep for the US Open, which will pre-empt the College Mix this weekend

9759 GIFT (12 Months of Sports Pack on Us) is live, 9756 *PEACK is testing

KYUR Anchorage is repurposing Drop Slide Channel 9221

 

[KyL416]

Is it possible that they could move LooLoo to 295 when UKids shuts down, or just leave it at 308?

Something else will be in that vacant slot on channel 295 soon...

 

[lordodogg]

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

 

[KyL416]

C-SPAN3 and MeTV Toons are testing on the stream server

Also, the 900s have been killed off again. They will likely return in August for US Open tennis.

Just curious, are C-SPAN3 & MeTV Toons in HD? That could finally kill off Spectrum for me, as they were the only reliable source of MeTV Toons in my area. I'm a history junkie, so I love C-SPAN3 too.

 

[KyL416]

Both are in HD on the streaming server, satellite TBA, but odds are C-SPAN3 will be SD on sat
