Good news for DirecTV subscribers

I just found out that DirecTV has moved NASA TV (ch. 376) to their
main satellite. That means that any DirecTV subscriber can now watch
NASA TV; you no longer need to have the oval satellite that can see
119 deg. as well as 101 deg.

Their barker announcements about programming packages on ch. 998
mention this change. (Also moved were RFD, BYU, and EWTN.) So it
isn't just some "let's shuffle slots for the weekend" thing; it's
permanent.

I broke down and bought a second (newer) DirecTV receiver a couple
of years ago so that I could get NASA TV. I'm still glad that I
have that secondary receiver in my office, but now I can also watch
NASA TV on my big TV--yay!
