DirecTV said they were going to shut it off <u>after</u> February 28. I expect that to mean tomorrow, March 1.
> Will another channel replace PAX on DIRECTV channel 255??
Not immediately. I expect some kind of notice will occupy that channel for several days or weeks.
> What channel do u think will replace PAX on channel 255??
Technically, DirecTV doesn't have to replace Pax. They can just deactivate 255.
What I would <u>like</u> them to do, though, is add American Life TV.<P ID="signature">______________

Here's another suggestion....
You know how DISH Network gives you the option of the WB stations in NYC, LA, and Denver as well as the UPN stations in Boston and NYC--why doesn't DirecTV do something like that?

Because that is a "national superstation package" add-on, created when those stations were independents.
DirecTV wouldn't be able duplicate that because those are now only available to subscribers who either had the package before those stations went WB/UPN or live in an area where there is no WB/UPN affiliate available with their local channels.
Those channels, therefore, cannot be replacements for Pax.

BET on Jazz/DirecTV...

They're together now, when I checked at 1:05 PM Eastern.
And, guess what they're showing?
R. Kelly's "Trapped in the Closet -- chapters 1-12" saga. Last time I checked, this song was not even close to being considered jazz.

I sure hope DirecTV adds the other MTV/BET/VH1 digital networks to the lineup soon.

More than likely Fox's new business channel will replace PAX on DTV.

As of 10:40 pm Wednesday, March 1st, 255 is still listed as "i", and there's...suprise, surprise..."paid programming" on.
