channel 57 on directv does not broadcast MeTV. WCTV 57 carries CBS on its primary channel 6.1 and metv on a subchannel 6.2. In general DirecTV does not carry subchannels.

Thank you TexasBrit. Up until 3-4 days ago I had been receiving MeTV on channel 57 in N Central Florida. Been getting it for about a year now. Unfortunately no more.
That explains it then. The network moved it to a sub-channel, which DirecTV doesn't carry (too many for the available bandwidth).
Will need to use a regular antenna to pick up anything in range, be it sub-channels, channels DirecTV doesn't have an agreement with, or even from a neighboring market they couldn't provide anyway. If you have an HR24 or earlier, you can see about finding an old AM21 to connect antenna to your box so it is integrated with the guide and recordings (plus don't have to switch inputs). If a Genie (not Genie-2 model HS17), then it is a shot as works for some.
