just was on channel 111 there is a message on there that says it will no longer be available as of dec 31st
Oh CRAP! Tell that to my kids. The first thing my son learned using the remote was 111 (my 3.5 year old just watches whatever he puts on). It was tough enough making him understand why it didn't work on Sundays during football season...Jeremy W said:It probably didn't get much use. Maybe, and this is a big maybe, they're freeing up some bandwidth to throw on an additional HD channel or two before the new sats go up? NFLST ends December 31st as well...
Believe me, I understand. But if the channel was super popular, you better believe DirecTV wouldn't drop it.greenie95125 said:Oh CRAP! Tell that to my kids.

Not that it bothers me about it's demise, but how do they know it's not getting much use.untouchable said:Actually, D* dropped it for what Jeremy said...it wasn't getting much use...
Your receiver reports your viewing habits to DirecTV during the monthly call. There is an option in your account on DirecTV's website to disable this.cbeckner80 said:Not that it bothers me about it's demise, but how do they know it's not getting much use.

DirecTV is the one who controls the mix channel, so that was definitely done on purpose. And I highly doubt that anyone who cared about that channel would use that little window instead of subscribing to the channel. The Sports Mix also contains NBA TV, which is a pay channel.employee3 said:Another reason may be that you could watch BabyFirst in a little window. It is supposed to be a pay channel.
