List of DirecTV channels
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
|
Below is a numerical representation of the DirecTV channel lineup. Some channels have both east and west feeds, airing the same programming with a three-hour delay on the latter feed, creating a backup for those who missed their shows. The three-hour delay also represents the time zone difference between Eastern (UTC -5/-4) and Pacific (UTC -8/-7).
Note that most high-definition (HDTV) and foreign-language channels may require a certain satellite dish or set-top box. For a list of cities which broadcast local channels in high-definition, see List of DirecTV channels/Locals With HD.
Most channels come from the main satellites at 101°W longitude, and all systems from the very beginning can get these channels. Most DirecTV Spanish-Language programming and some Chinese programming is from 119°W. Most HDTV is from 99.2°W and 102.8°W, and will not show up in other program guides as it is essentially a different system (MPEG-4 AVC over DVB-S2, instead of MPEG-2 over DSS). Reception requires the large AT9 Ka/Ku or the new and lighter AU9-S Ka/Ku antenna.
Note that DirecTV has created potential confusion by using channel numbers 70 to 99 (as well as 1 and possibly 0). Because ATSC over-the-air (OTA) digital TV also has virtual channel numbering (just as DirecTV does), it would be entirely possible for local stations to use these as their major channel numbers, even though under current FCC rules regarding digital channel identification, stations must use their old analog channel numbers. Since channel numbers above 69 are not used for analog TV, there is no current conflict, but that could change in the future. Currently, TBN plans to use 75. For the new DirecTV boxes that have OTA tuning, these may show as channels 75-1 to 75-5, in this example. Additionally, the same channel number is listed for both the standard-definition (SD) channel and the high-definition (HD) channel, such as 202 for both CNN and CNN HD. DirecTV HD receivers can tune to each channel separately. This is required since programming may be different on the SD and HD versions of the channels; while at times the programming may be simulcast with the same programming on both SD and HD channels. Some HD channels will be listed as XXX-1, like local channels in HD are broadcast. Older HD receivers (that use the 3 LNB antenna) will only receive the MPEG-2 HD programming.

| 205 | CNN Sports Illustrated | Choice | until that network folded on May 15, 2002. It is now used by ESPN in March for regional telecasts of the NCAA Women's Division I Basketball Championship (Channels 211 and 213 are also used for regional broadcasts; the main telecast is shown on either 206, ESPN, or 209, ESPN2). |

| 261 | Lifetime Real Women | Choice Xtra | was dropped on July 25, 2007. |
| 315 | Trio | Choice | until January, 2005. This channel relaunched as Sleuth, which was picked up by DirecTV on channel 308. |

However, Home Plate curiously stayed off the lineup when another talk channel, High Voltage (now The Virus) returned to it about a week after both channels were originally dropped. |
| 996 | Gospel Music Channel | Choice | This channel was added to the channel guide on July 26, 2006 but is shown as "not locally available" in most locations. This channel was added on "DirecTV branded" TiVos, instead of channel 996 added on other receivers. (This channel was mapped to Channel 14 or 15 depending on the local channel lineup). GMC was discontinued on March 15, 2007 and returned on channel 338 March 19, 2008. |
