Significantly Viewed Channel Question

[Trainnut]

I live in Bradford PA (16701) and receive the Buffalo NY locals which I have no problems with. WPSU in State College PA also broadcasts into my area ( http://www.wpsu.org/about/coverage.html ). Would this qualify as a SVC? If so does one just call Directv and ask for it?

Thanks

They have sv channels in some areas. Here is the link for the lookup:

I've tried to use that tool and any DMA I select shows nothing available. That's why I was kind of curious if any is receiving neighboring channels.

Does anyone have a link to the FCC website that contains a list of SV channels by zipcode? I can't seem to locate it at present.

Thanks...

Never mind, just found it: http://hraunfoss.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/FCC-05-187A2.doc

The results of the last time I played with the SV lookup tool can be seen in this thread: http://www.satelliteguys.us/showthread.php?t=62386

I haven't seen any new SV channels offered by D* in a long while.

I hadn't seen or heard anyone mention it, Makes me curious if D* wants you to do the research and then they'll confirm or deny. If I ask D* better to go thru the regular CS or try retention?

the last time I asked directv about SV channels they told me that they are waiting for some kind of legal issues to be resolved and once those are resolved it will probably be late this year or early next before we see SV channels launched nationwide. Of course this was in May.
