i have a ARSL set up to record Mets games and it's set to only record between the 2-625 range, yet it's recording tonight's game on channel 9323? Anyone know why? That isn't even a channel that is listed in the guide.

if i try to manually enter that channel number it gives me a "channel not available" message. very odd.

ahh.. well, i'm watching live on SNY (625).... so i'm glad i didnt' have to rely on my autorecord and be stuck with listening to the chodes on the ESPN broadcast.

I live in Philly, and the same thing is happening to me. I didn't have the game set to record, but when I tuned to channel 206 (ESPN), I got the message that the game was blacked out on that channel, and gave me the option to search for it. I clicked on search for it, even though I didn't think it would come up with anything, it said that it found the game on channel 9323, and asked if I wanted to tune to it. I did, and it took me to this channel, which is the ESPN HD broadcast of the game. I cannot tune to the channel any other way, so if I click away, I have to then tune to 206 and let it search for the game again. How is this possible? Is it a blackout loophole? :grin:

No, it's GameSearch working. Just a little TOO well!

hehe... too funny that the gamesearch feature is picking up channels in engineering mode.

I would assume it's intentional...

I just tried a normal title search and 9323 does NOT show. Bummer.

no 9323 for me either...

Just tried it online at m.directv.com, too.....no workie. It found the Phillies game, just not on 9323...

Okay, now I can't get back to channel 9323, the gamesearch isn't finding it now. Was this a mistake that I shouldn't have been able to get to this game?

Quite possible, now the cat's out of the bag...............

I hate to be the wet blanket here but this has happened to me a few times in the last few months. Using gamesearch, my HR20-700 will grab the game from a channel in the 9000's instead of the normal 600 or 700's. Unfortunately, I think it's just routine and nothing to do with D11.

No, it's been pretty much confirmed that this channel is coming from D11.
