Programing guide shows Meet the Press at wrong time

Meet the Press comes on at 9am in my time zone. I have been recording it for years.  Suddenly instead of MTP, I have a recording of local news that comes on at 8am.  Sure enough, in the guide, MTP shows at 8am and shows "to be announced" at 9am.  My recording list also shows MTP "set

TV blacks out

While watching TV for the past few days, on every channel, our 3 TV's will black out. If we switch channels, the station comes back, only to happen again later. Does anyone have any ideas about this? Would it be the satellite dish?Thanks.

KTVD-20 Denver (MY 20)

There is conflicting information to be found, even from usually reliable sources such as Streamables and Edge's Copilot. Does DirecTV Stream offer this channel?  I don't get it on my Choice Package.  Is it, perhaps, included in the Sports Pack or a more expensive package?
