EspañolLIST OF DIRECTV CHANNELS
Below is a numerical representation of the 'DirecTV channel lineup'. Some channels have both east and west feeds, airing the same programming with a three-hour delay on the latter feed, creating a backup for those who missed their shows. The three-hour delay also represents the time zone difference between Eastern (UTC -5/-4) and Pacific (UTC -8/-7).
Note that most high-definition (HDTV) and foreign-language channnels may require a certain satellite dish or set-top box.
For a list of cities which broadcast local channels in high-definition, see List of DirecTV channels/Locals With HD.
Most channels come from the main satellites at 101°W longitude, and all systems from the very beginning can get these channels. Most DirecTV Spanish-Language programming and some Chinese programming is from 119°W. Most HDTV is from 110°W, but some channels are on 119°W and 101°W, and will not show up in other program guides, as it is essentially a different system (MPEG-4 AVC over DVB-S2, instead of MPEG-2 over DSS.
Note that DirecTV has created potential confusion by using channel numbers 70 to 99 (as well as 1 and possibly 0). Because ATSC over-the-air (OTA) digital TV also has virtual channel numbering (just as DirecTV does), it would be entirely possible for local stations to use these as their major channel numbers, even though under current FCC rules regarding digital channel identification, stations must use their old analog channel numbers. Since channel numbers above 69 are not used for analog TV, there is no current conflict, but that could change in the future. Currently, TBN plans to use 75. For the new DirecTV boxes that have OTA tuning, these may show as channels 75-1 to 75-5, in this example.

Former DirecTV channels
| Channel | Network | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 111 | 'Kids Mix' | showing 6 screens of children's television networks in a format similar to News Mix and Sports Mix, until January 1, 2007. |
| 205 | 'CNN Sports Illustrated' | until that network folded on May 15, 2002. It is now used by ESPN in March for regional telecasts of the NCAA Women's Division I Basketball Championship (Channels 211 and 213 are also used for regional broadcasts; the main telecast is shown on either 206, ESPN, or 209, ESPN2). |
| 358 | 'CNNfn' | until that channel folded in 2004. |
| 800s | 'Music Choice' | held many audio channels until XM Satellite Radio replaced them in November 2005. MC is still available on many cable systems. |
| 878 | 'MLB Home Plate' | was an XM channel from November 2005 to April 2006, when DirecTV dropped the channel just before the start of the season. DirecTV stated that it wanted to focus on carrying the music channels simulcast from XM. However, Home Plate curiously stayed off the lineup when another talk channel, High Voltage (now The Virus) returned to it about a week after both channels were originally dropped. |
| 243 | 'America's Store' | was pulled on March 1, 2007, after its parent company, IAC/InterActiveCorp, announced that it would cease operations on April 3, 2007. |
| 996 | 'Gospel Music Channel' | This channel was added to the channel guide on July 26, 2006 but is shown as "not locally available" in most locations. This channel was added on "DirecTV branded" TiVos, instead of channel 996 added on other receivers. (This channel was mapped to Channel 14 or 15 depending on the local channel lineup). GMC was scheduled to be discontinued on or about March 15, 2007. |
| 345 | 'Ultimate Shopping Network' | This channel was dropped by DirecTV on March 25, 2007. |
| 261 | 'Lifetime Real Women' | was dropped on July 25, 2007. However, LRW is still broadcasting through other providers. |
| 223 | 'Beauty & Fashion Channel' | was removed on August 13, 2007. |
| 604 | 'Men's Outdoor and Recreation' | but dropped abruptly on August 27, 2007. |
