| [DIRECTV] Which digital subchannels can I get? Currently on Dish Network with a Vip722 that has an OTA tuner. It can use any OTA stations it can receive.
In a week I'll be switching to DirecTV since Dish is firing me as a customer - I'm "not profitable" because I asked them to match DirecTV pricing. I guess I'm even less profitable now that they will get no money from me.
If I get an AM21, which local subchannels will I be able to get? I've seen that it's controlled by DirecTV, not by which stations it can actually pick up. Before I spend the money on one I want to make sure it gets the stations I want to see. Is there a listing somewhere? |

Camden, TN | If it has a OTA tuner you can pick up any subchannel your antenna can get in. DirecTv can't block those. |

DirecTV do control what stations that will be up picked up OTA. There used to be a spreadsheet list of the 4,000 or so stations across the US that could be picked up over on DBSTalk.com

User gct had a list posted in Dec but he removed in a few months back. If you post over there someone may be able to share a copy they still have.

Awesome, thanks. I didn't see any mention of the two stations I'm most concerned with, so I'll assume they will work. Dish has guide data for them, and from what I've seen the deciding factor for DirecTV is whether or not Tribune Media has guide data or not. |
