Well it won’t be here as DIRECTV is in negotiations with NEWSMAX at the moment and thus doesn’t have them at the moment.

DISH Network is the only other satellite TV provider in America but they are currently experiencing an ( as of right now) five day complete outage. They experienced ransomware attacks and thus everything is shut down. This includes their website, phone support, online ordering, etc. You’ll need to wait a while for them to finally get everything fixed. I’m surprised it is taking them this long as a company to recover. I’m glad I’m not subbed to them (lol).

AFAIK Newsmax will not return to DTV as they walk away from the talks unless they change their minds.  It has been replaced with The First.

There are two satellite TV providers, DirecTV and Dish Network. Since Newsmax walked away from negotiations, that leaves you with Dish (at least until their carriage agreement comes up).

Are you having problems looking up channel info, or are you brand new to pay TV providers and unaware of how the options work?

Dish TV is your only option now. That's where I'm going.

Dish is still experiencing an outage. You cannot reach customer service, the online website is useless, and no one knows when it will be resolved (although some have said within the next couple days).

Just an FYI, Dish dealt with ransomware attacks that allowed hackers to get into the computers of agents and other Dish employees, allowing personal info from customers to be leaked.
