Mundo Fox Currently Offered on DirecTV??

[tripplesix]

Please let me know as soon as possible if Mundo Fox is currently offered on DirecTV's lineup (premier package)?
-If so, what channel?

-If not, in order to receive OTA channels do I need an AM21 (i might have written that wrong) and an antenna? or just the AM21? (it would go with the Genie).

Thanks!!

Mundo Fox is a OTA channel so unless its on a "main" channel Directv probably wont have it (while Directv does carry some subchannels they are few and far between)

To receive OTA channels you need a AM21 and an antenna

Perfect.
Thank you.

Is there a full-time national feed like other networks? It's interesting that Directv doesn't carry it if there is.

 

[Mr Tony]

MundoFox is designed as a OTA station and not a cable station (like MeTV, ThisTV, etc)

If its on the -1 (main) of a station and not Low powered it qualifies for must carry and in most cases is carried on D*
If its a subchannel or low powered it does not qualify for must carry

Here in DC it is a full-time OTA channel on channel 20-2. But I just didn't want to go through buying an AM21 (and keeping my antenna) if I didn't need to. But interestingly, the DTV tech told me on the phone today that the AM21 is already part of my work order because of the equipment I'm getting. Hmmmm.... i guess I'll really find out on Monday.

What I meant by national feed was DNS feed.. Like channels 389-408. Is there even a DNS feed available for Directv to (not) have?

 

[Mr Tony]

no. Its not classified as a distant network. Just the big 4, CW & PBS are
