GRIT or HSN2
This is to Jupiner,
I am paying for what I get and I have requested for GRIT and the representative says that there is no channel for GRIT. Also one representative says that it maybe listed on the CINEMA MAX listings. So CINEMA, MAX, STARS, are listed on my bill now. If GRIT is the same as HSN2 then I have it. Wherever GRIT channel is, I am willing to pay for! I am not dictating what channels is generated but I still should be able to get what I want if I am willing to pay it. Why take it off? I used to have it before, what was the reason it was discontinued? I am asking!!!

Your address determines what locals are within your Designated Market Area (DMA). Check www.directv.com/locals to verify what you should be getting. DirecTV cannot change what locals you are allowed as that is per Federal regulations. If the affiliate owner of the GRIT station in your area moved it to a sub-channel or discontinued it all together, DirecTV has no control over that.
We do not get to pick and choose individual channels, or what channels a TV provider gets the rights to. Premium channels in the 500s (HBO, Cinemax, Starz, Showtime) have absolutely nothing to do with what locals you get.
You would need to contact your local affiliate that was carrying GRIT for more info on why they discontinued or moved it. That information is not communicated to TV providers.

You need to ask whatever local station was broadcasting GRIT on their channel why they removed it. Directv did not remove it. Directv does not offer GRIT as a national channel, it is only carried if some local channel carries it.
