DIRECTV Transponder Map ~ Data 8/27/2025

[KyL416]

WSVN-D2/ABC Miami is now testing on the streaming server.

The channel hasn't actually launched yet, so since the ABC streams all come from the WatchABC API it's currently a mix of the national ABC East fallback feed and WSVN simulcasts.

 

[KyL416]

Music Choice is rebranding a bunch of channels on 8/26 and reordering their core 50 channel digital cable lineup with some channels moving to the app to make room for other additions. Last time they did a reshuffle it didn't affect DIRECTV's lineup, but this time several channels DTV carries will be undergoing name changes:
803 '60s -> '60s Generation (DTV still lists this as 60s Movement)
809 Country Hits -> Country Favorites
816 Hit List -> Today's Hits
837 Rock Hits -> Alt & Rock Favorites
843 R&B Soul -> Today's R&B
848 Throwback Jamz -> Throwback Jams
867 Teen Hits -> Trending Hits (DTV still lists this as Teen Beats)
870 Romances -> Romantic Latin Pop
871 Pop Latino -> Today's Latin Hits

Even though the site says Party Favorites is being "renamed" to Pop Energy for digital cable viewers, their app recently added it as a separate channel, so DTV might be keeping Party Favorites on channel 880
