Yea, I posted that info last night, http://www.satelliteguys.us/directv-forum/161219-inaugration-mix-channel-info.html
Quick Note: For the Mix Channel and interactive functionality, a D10 (or later) model interactive DIRECTV Receiver is required.
Mix channels are a total waste of space. whats the point of seeing 8 channels at once when you can only have the audio on for one of them? and why do they show the SD versions and when you select one to tune to it goes to the SD version too? get rid of them DirecTV, they totally suck!
I was watching the sports mix channel at my girlfriend's mom's house, and when I selected the channel, it went to the HD version, where possible. Not sure if it makes a difference, but her guide is set to ignore any SD version of HD feeds (a very helpful feature that I wish I could find on Dish, so I don't have to spend time making these stupid favorite lists...).
Also, what would be your alternative to hearing the audio for one of them?...
I am trying to understand why have a Mix channel for the coverage of the Obama coronation? The chosen one can only be in one spot at a time and they are likely to use a pool camera for the shot anyway. Different views of the boring parade or various shots from the different balls? I have been to two inaugurations and there is not much to see.
Well in Back to the Future Part II Marty Jr. made a custom mix channel with audio from all 8 channels simultaneously. He didn't even press any buttons, it was all by voice commands. When will we have that technology? The movie was made in 1989 for God's sake!
I'm going to watch the inauguration on CSPAN, they don't have a bunch of biased pundits who love to hear themselves talk or a bunch of useless graphics, and its commercial free. I wish it was in HD though
