DIRECTV Transponder Map ~ Data 4/09/2025

FS1 is what was SpeedVision. Some of its original founders launched a new streaming SpeedVision that's available on channel 4194 in the DTV app.

MavTV was always MavTV, although it didn't become motorsports focused until after Lucas Oil purchased it in 2011. It used to have a bunch of other programming like roller derby, wrestling, MMA and even an overnight music video block with an interactive on screen text chat, but all of that was long gone by the time DTV picked it up in 2013.

Do you think D* should move FS2 to channel 220 to be next to FS1?

I'd also like to see them move ACC and SEC networks to 210 and 211 to be near the ESPN's.

Thanks for the information.

FS2 is the former Fuel which was always a higher tier and digital only channel, Speedvision had widespread expanded basic and analog coverage back in the day. Cable companies that haven't touched their core double digit range in decades can't put them next to eachother unless it's FS1 that gets duplicated higher up, so they can't force DTV to do it.

FS2 is not really to FS1 what ESPN2 is to ESPN anyway. It usually has a different lineup of more niche sports, and most providers including DTV still have it in a higher tier compared to FS1, while some providers like Optimum only carry it in SD. Because of that, many times they use FOX Business for overflow coverage of higher profile events instead of FS2.

ESPNU is only down that low because of the offer they made to providers about a decade ago to have ESPN Classic and ESPNU swap channels and packages.

I'm not sure when this happened exactly, but the font for much of the channel listings on the map is now Aptos Narrow.
Previously, they had been in Eurostile font.
No big deal, just found it interesting.

That's because It was tun on a different system. Gary was unavailable on Wednesday, so I ran his Excel software on my PC. I'm not sure why our default fonts are different.
