TCM HD just got added, Disney Jr just got added, AXS TV just changed their name. I'm not sure about the others but I'm betting they are either new or just changed their name.tulanejosh said:
New logos don't come out the instant a channel is turned on or they change their name, never have, never will. You have to give them time.

Most likely they will come in the next major national release.

Considering it just launched in October of 2010 I don't think so.Xsabresx said:

A thing re: logos: - DirecTV does not own the right to publish the logo's on their systems, the logo's are copyrighted and owned by each individual TV station or their parent company, and those companies would have to give consent to allow DirecTV (or any other carrier/system) to carry their logos.
Additionally, the company would have to provide the logo. This probably has to be done in a certain format, resolution, etc. Not a really big deal of course from a technical point of view (take the SVG file, save as...) but someone actually needs to do it and then provide the file to DirecTV.
If a company does not give consent and/or does not provide the logo, DirecTV cannot add it. Now, I can't think of a single reason as to why they would not, but this still needs to happen.
If you have the HD guide (which most should have) you get a large icon for many programs too, e.g. in your recorded list. These are provided by the television company as well, who IN TURN may have to get those from the actual production company.
So if a logo is missing.... it could have many different reasons. Hell, it may even be a very small footnote in a large carriage contract for all I know.
