HD Channel 84 on DirecTV

[jwbowers]

Is there anything being broadcast on HD channel 84? It doesn't show up in my guide like the other HD channels do, yet I see references to it on the DirecTV web site and on other various on-line channel guides (i.e. Titan TV, etc). Does anyone know what's up? Thanks.....

I talked to Direct TV yesterday about channels 70-72 and channel 84 not being in my channel guide. The guy said channel 84 has been taken off the system, the programs that were supposed to be on it are either on HDnet or the HDPPV channels. (special events)

Channels 70-72 for High/Enhanced definition football only appear in your guide on Sundays. So I hope he's right, the last girl I talked to at Direct TV didnt seem to know this.

Thanks for the info. BTW, Channels 70-72 have been showing up fine in my channel guide. Im a little disappointed about channel 84. I thought "special programming" was supposed to be a part of the HDTV package. It's just one less channel for the money we're paying.
