Weekly Analysis for 8/7/2024:

 

[KyL416]

GEB America moved to channel 365-1, freeing up 363 for FOX Weather

NFL prep, including the NFL Network alternate on 212-1 for the preseason, and Red Zone on 703.
A reminder, these games are NOT bonus games, they're only for viewers in blackout markets who are getting the game on the main feed on a local station. And because of the Olympics in some markets the week 1 games will be bumped to a subchannel if your NBC affiliate has the pre-season rights. i.e. even though NBC Philly is promoting the Eagles as being on "Cozi" locally for week 1, it will not be on the national Cozi feed that DIRECTV carries on channel 80.

9753 GIFT (Extra Innings on Us), 9754 MOVIES (Ultimate Package Offer), 9755 GEMINI (NFL on Gemini) are live

 

[TheRatPatrol]

and Red Zone on 703

Will Red Zone also be on 211?

 

[KyL416]

Yes, they never removed 211 from the guide after the NFL season ended, and if you use the DIRECTV app you can stream the filler loop.

 

[Gary Toma]

Will Red Zone also be on 211?

See the 'Offline' tab of the TPN Map. Both NFLNRZ/211 and NFL/703 appear as RedZone channels. Now, what channels they actually fire up is yet to be seen.

They simulcasted each other last season, if I recall correctly.

 

[PioneerDJ]

Eagles game on COZI is simulcast in HD on NBCSP+ RSN, which would be nice if DTV carries it

 

[KyL416]

That ship sailed decades ago. At this point anyone in territory who still has DIRECTV in the almost 30 years since the demise of SportsChannel Philadelphia either doesn't see the lack of Philly's teams as a deal breaker, or is supplementing DTV with a cable or streaming provider that has it. It would also force an increased RSN fee for all those customers, especially outside of Philly where they already pay the fee for the NYC, Pittsburgh and/or Baltimore/DC teams along with the in-state rate for BTN and ACCN.

People within Philly can hookup an antenna to their TV and get the game via WCAU/10.2 or listen to it on 94.1 WIP, outside of Philly DIRECTV will have it via WOLF/56 Scranton, WPMT/43 Harrisburg, WWCP/8 Johnstown and KHII/9 Honolulu.

 

[KyL416]

CINEHD 148 and 153 have returned now that the Paris Extra channels have finished their programming.
