Directv Question

[MD-Blu]

Those of you all who has Directv, how do you get rid of the standard version of a channel? One of my local channels is showing up twice on my guide and I know 1 of them isn't HD.

Hit menu...preference ...hide sd channels.

Thanks the both of you, appreciate it! After I did the suggestion, I looked at the guide again, and both are still showing, you wouldn't think they would show both HD channels.

Is there a -1 or -2 after the second channel?

I live in the Inland Empire of CA and get the Inland Empire, Orange County, and Los Angeles County local channels. I used to have 50 and 50-2 because they were seperate HD broadcasts. Now I have 24 and 24-2.

Weirdly, I don't get the other .1 or .2 channels so I'm missing out on a great local station that offers uncut older movies in HD. Basically they are like TCM without the snooty "artsy" requirements.

Off-the-wall question: Did Directv settle with AMC?

I don't think so. I haven't heard anything about the sides reaching a new agreement, and each side's website in which they pretty much blame the other side are both still active. I haven't read an exact date when the current deal expires but based on what AMC is saying the deal will expire before the current season of The Walking Dead ends and potentially sometime this month. Deals like this often aren't reached until right before the deal expires (or shortly after) so I have some hope that a deal will be reached.

I checked both websites as well, and saw the bashing of the other company, which led me to ask. I thought the current deal ran out at on 12/31/2014, but I still have AMC channels as this morning. Also I don't see a banner on the channel guide that tells me AMC is evil and "to go here" to sign a petition.
Of course calling Directv yielded no answers, at least for me.
I guess we'll find out ~February 8th when the season is set to resume.
