local channels listed in my guide 900-960?

[nuzzy]

I was looking at my programming guide and my locals were listed up in the 900's...when I looked on my TV there were none showing up. Does anyone know what this is supposed to be? I get my locals on their regular stations (4,5,7,etc). I'm in the Boston area so I have NO idea what the others are

Those channels are for people with older receivers that cannot map to channels below 99 i believe it is.. They should be the same exact channel names.

I'm not sure I follow. The programming guide in which you see your locals in the 900s is where? On the DirecTV website? If you have an older receiver you'll see them in the 900s. If you have a newer one you'll see them in 2-99 range. You won't see them in both places on the same receiver. At least I don't think you should.

Check this site for where your locals are really allocated. If on the 101 sat.

There's probably an equivalent list for the 119 sat.
Your receiver, if capable, will map these to your local broadcast channel number.
