Meh. I don't listen to those two channels. I don't listen to the Opie and Anthony channel, and I'd rather have a general sports channel like The Sporting News or FSR rather than MLB.

I don't really care for the Opie and Anthony channel as well, either.
Here is some of the changes, I'm still going through the list though:
809 US Country (Nashville's old slot)
817 XM Hitlist (Kiss's old slot)
818 Flight 26 (Mix's old slot)
820 Escape (Sunny's old slot)
825 The Heat (Eye's old slot)
826 The Message (new name for Fish)
829 The Torch (The Flow's old transponder slot)
837 Big Tracks (Music Lab's old slot)
840 Deep Tracks (was on 829)
841 XM Liquid Metal (MLB Home Plate's old transponder slot)
842 Soul Street (was on 841)
857 XM Chill (High Voltage's old transponder slot)
870 Fuego (new name for Alegria)
876 Viva (was Vivo)
The following channels are gone from D*:
809 Nashville (Clear Channel)
817 KISS (Clear Channel)
818 Mix (Clear Channel)
820 Sunny (Clear Channel)
825 Eye
837 XM Music Lab (Now exclusive to XM Radio online)
842 The Flow (Now exclusive to XM Radio Online and AOL)
878 MLB Home Plate (Now exclusive to XM)
879 High Voltage (Now exclusive to XM)

I just checked 817 and 818 and it is still the feeds from Kiss and Mix.
They're likely still working on it, it will likely be changed by 6am though. Hopefully D* fixes the bandwith on Liquid Metal so it no longer has the AM Radio sound like MLB Home Plate did.

chs. 817 and 818 are right now.
I never listened to High Voltage but now that baseball season has kicked in I was listening to Home Plate rather frequently. It's funny that they had Home Plate on during the off season but now that the season has started and interest would presumably be higher they take it off.

That could be why XM made it exclusive to them. Get us hooked on the channels, then make us get XM to continue to listen to them.
829 The Torch (The Flow's old transponder slot)
Is anyone else getting a "For Ordering Infomation Call Customer Service" on The Torch?

From this post it sounds more like DTV pulled the plug.

Thanks for writing. I'm sorry to hear that you're not having a picture on channel 829. Based on what you've told me, I have re-sent your programming information to your receiver. This fixes some of the most basic problems with signal reception. Hopefully this fixed the problem right away. If it didn't, another fix you can do from home is to try resetting your system. Here’s how:
If your receiver has a reset button on the inside of your access card door, you can simply press it and wait while the receiver resets itself. If your receiver does not have a reset button, or if pressing the button does not correct the problem, try these manual steps:
1. Leave the receiver box on.
2. Unplug the receiver from the electrical outlet. (If your receiver’s light is still on, you have pulled the wrong plug.)
3. Leave receiver unplugged for 15 seconds.
4. Reconnect it to the electrical outlet and return to normal viewing.
If neither of these fixes the problem, you may find some additional help at DIRECTV.com/troubleshooting. Otherwise, please call our technical support center at 1-800-531-5000 and select the option for technical assistance. Our Technical Support agents are trained to walk you through a number of troubleshooting steps which are too difficult to try to talk through over email. Also, you may find some helpful information at the DIRECTV Technical Help forums. Just visit http://forums.directv.com/pe/index.jsp to find answers to your questions.
We apologize for this inconvenience and appreciate your patience while we work to fix the problem as quickly as possible.
Sincerely,

So they do not understand that no one is getting 829?

I just got off the Phone with D* and they went through all the trouble shooting steps and then the tech got the Programing Supervisor and Then the tech was then told that the changes was made yesterday and that one channel didn't get the update. they are working on it trying to get it come through and they said it should clear up by 24 to 48hr for all Total Choice Plus Customers. and i also told them that i saw on the internet that it was alot other people that was complaining also.
Glad to hear it, LMckin. I just spent 25 minutes on the phone with D*, with the CSR even contacting her supervisor, only to get hung up on when she tried to return to me.:rolleyes:

It also says that it's "Upcoming: The Torch" for its programming.
It also says that it's "Upcoming: The Torch" for its programming.Maybe we're getting somewhere! It looks like the "upcoming" listing ends at 3am (central) tomorrow morning....we'll see...
Nope, no Torch yet...still says "upcoming" until TOMORROW at 5am (central)....:rolleyes:
are oppie & anthony gone from directv? Mabey moved from Voltage; to different station?

On their show they said they were off DirecTV.
Still waiting on "The Torch"...it still says "Channel not purchased"...:rolleyes:
i`ve notice that The Torch XM channel 829 is now Live
O & A to replace David Lee Roth on some major stations RUMORED to be coming soon and one of them is in my area. I hate the DLR show and hope this RUMOR is true.
What an amazing week for O&A. First, their "announcement" of syndication in 7 major markets via CBS RAdio (more on that on Orbitcast (http://www.orbitcast.com/archives/more-on-opie-anthony-and-cbs-radio.html)), and now....from Orbitcast:
Opie & Anthony to return to DirecTV's XM lineup! (http://www.orbitcast.com/archives/opie-anthony-back-on-directv.html)
The pests will enjoy this one. Not even a full work week has gone by since DirecTV removed O&A from the lineup, and word has it that DirecTV is reinstating them back today or tomorrow. According to people familiar with the matter, DirecTV was overwhelmed by the response (read: pest attack) and has decided to bring back Opie and Anthony.
No word on whether MLB Home Plate will return as well, or what the channel number will be.
From Anthony himself on Wackbag.com:CONGRATS PESTS!!!!
I just spoke with ELo and he said Direct TV called him AMAZED with the support for XM202. They are putting it back on later today or tomorrow and making an official announcment on Tuesday.
You mother******* are too much! Great job. **** like this is UNHEARD of in radio. Thanks a bunch.
