Thomas asks…
What does it mean when my Direct TV guide says a sports game is “upcoming” on the higher up channels?
They aren’t channels I usually get, but for some reason some of the higher up sports channels (in the 700s) say the name of a game that is upcoming– hours later in the day.
Am I able to get those channels when the game actually comes on?
Nagesh answers:
Most of those are package channels like Hockey, or NFL and so on. You pay a fixed price for the service and it lets you watch up to 16 or more games being played at different times.
Some time the alternate channels will have a game on, upcoming means later in the day.
And you have to keep checking back or go out on the cable guide until you find what’s playing.

How can i watch mor than one channel of Direct TV?
I have never had Direct TV but I get it at work now. Last week the screen turned Black with the blue bar saying “Requesting guide. Please wait…”
I can watch one channel (the channel it is on) if I press menu but I have to watch with the menu on and cannot change the channel. I am assuming there is something wrong with the guide but do not know how to fix it.
Nagesh answers:
When it gives that message it’s taking some information from the satellite and downloading programming authorizations. It sometimes take a few moments for it to do this.
If it gets stuck on this message you can always reset the receiver. The easiest way to do that is to unplug it for 15 seconds then plug it back in. Oftentimes that’ll restart the process and get it working again.

Lisa asks…
How do I branch from Direct TV to get channel 18.2?
I have Direct TV. I can get channel 18 on my remote; however, there is no dot for me to push to get to 18.2 or 18.3, etc. Guide suggests that I click local channels only. Do I need to get a converter box from digital to analog to get picture on my pre-2005 TV? or go from analog to digital?
Nagesh answers:
There is no dot in any channel numbers. The sub channels use the dash, such as 18-2. DirecTV does not broadcast the sub channels on their satellites, but if you have a HR20 HD DVR or a HR21, 22, or 23 DVR plus an AM21 Off-Air Tuner, you can tune the sub channels on your DirecTV box if you hook an external OTA antenna to the antenna input on the DirecTV box. If you have the equipment and antenna connection as described above, the sub channels can then be tuned using the “-” button on your DirecTV remote.
You can also just hook an antenna directly to your TV and then select the tuner input on the TV and tune the sub channel using the numbers and “-” button on your TV remote.
