Numerical Channel Listing w/ Explanation

[Neal]

Does anyone know where I can get a listing of channels by numerical listing with an explanation of the programming for each?

This would be very helpful for when setting my favorites as I have no idea what some of the channels are about without going to them individually and watching awhile.

This info used to be listed on the D* site but it isn't anymore.

Thanks.

It still is, actually.

The channels are sorted alphabetically, but it does have the channel numbers...

EDIT: make sure you click on the channel name for the description.

ANOTHER EDIT: You can also go here and choose your package directly rather than looking through the comparison page...

Thanks for the tip. However, I still have to scout around on the various packages (and determine which package a channel is in) to find what I'm looking for. Is there some other option listing each numerically? Seems to me that this would make the most sense.

Do we know if they are going to add the station logos on top of the guide like the other channels? For example Starz and Showtime HD show as S......

If you're looking to update your favorites, wouldn't you already know which package you have? Just go to that page and you'll see all of the channels in your package.... I do agree, though, that it would be easier for existing subscribers to have it listed numerically.

I know I tried to find that this morning and they haven't update the channel lineup yet (the one you can print out). I just when to the guide and selected hd channels and wrote down the numbers

List of DirecTV channels - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
can be pasted into MS Word as a table, then resorted to alphabetical if wanted.

I can't speak for everyone else, but my package doesn't exist any more, so that wouldn't be an option.

For those of us challenged by anything Microsoft, there is this numerical list (but it's not as complete as the Wiki list)
