OK, folks, here we go...

I've got some friends in high places who tell me they're committed to finally fixing the "Channels I Get" issues. But they need data... a LOT more data. So I need your help.

Please vote if the channels listed in this poll appear in your "Channels I Get" list, but you don't actually get them. Please also post in this thread with complete details of your programming package.

At this point, our friends at DIRECTV aren't interested in part-time sports channels, Regional Sports Networks, or any channel showing a DIRECTV logo. They're also not interested in music channels (because you might get errors on some of those without a Slimline-5)

There are only a few channels left that seem to be a problem...

I think I have a legacy package.
Choice Xtra Plus HD-DVR and Locals
Lincoln Nebraska
I see channels 293 and 379 and do not receive them

[EDIT] I also receive the HBO package with Sundance and IFC (another perk of the legacy package and I like them but don't like showtime}

By the way, I think the 721 errors on 293 are due to a free trial of that channel that may have just ended, or may be about to start. But please vote for it if you get the 721 error.

Choice XTRA w/locals & HD + HBO, Showtime, Starz, Cinemax, HD Extra Pack

721 Error:
293
379
408
416


All the other channels are channels I actually get - some of which I didn't know I got and some of which I thought everybody got.

Right... there are lower packages that don't get those channels, and those folks are encouraged to vote too.

Just for the record, I have a SlimLine-5 and get a 721 error on several SonicTap channels.

Will go through the list of channels later today after work, and will vote then.

Total Choice Plus, HD package, HD Extra package

293, 379, 408, and 416 are in the guide and not grayed out. I do not receive these channels.

Choice Xtra Plus DVR, with HD Access

I was surprised about 379. I guess that is for people without locals, because I get PBS on channel 13.

Total Choice Ultimate (No Locals)
HD Package + HD Extra Package
CBS East & West SD-DNS, ABC East & West SD-DNS, The CW East & West SD-DNS, PBS DNS, CBS East HD-DNS, ABC East HD-DNS


Channels I Don't Get From The List Above:

408: Telefutura West HD (721)
416: TV Colombia (721)

EDIT: I voted for 293, but apparently I was wrong. It no longer shows up as a CIG. The above two channels have been double-checked, and are still incorrect.
