Directv and NASA TV

[timca]

Hi Guys,

Sorry for the lame question, but I have searched the net and cannot find the answer so I thought I would post it here.

My wife and I have Dish Network and are very happy with it. My little brother was over at the house the other day and was excited to see NASA TV. I happen to have an old DirecTV box in the garage and was wondering if this could be used at his location only to receive NASA TV. I hooked the thing up and see that it's complaining about the access card being out of date.

I am not trying to steal programming at all! I was just wondering if this channel was available using an old system like this. NASA TV is not offered with my brother's cable system.

Thanks for any comments.

Only with a subscription to Directv, plus you will need a new access card and Im not sure but you may also need a D* dish capable of receiving Sat 109 too!

Bummer! I guess there is no reason to keep this old system. I have no plans to subscribe to D* anytime soon. I just thought it might come in handy someday.

What the h*@@ is sat 109? Nasa is received via 101.

I think he meant 119 but Yes NasaTV is on 101

Or 99 (that's barely even there yet). But yea, 101.

NASA TV is available on channel 376 on D* and is available on all pkg. levels.
It comes via the transponder A-16 on the 101 deg. bird. NASA recently switched
to an all digital format. One interesting note: Mark Cuban and H/D Net have
recently signed a exclusive deal to carry the remaining shuttle launches(ends 2010) in H/D.

NASA TV moved a year or three back from one of the other sats to 101.
