Satellite Services
DirecTV and Dish Network Services
Thank you for watching PBS. We are pleased to note that the majority of satellite customers are now able to receive local channels. As satellite providers continue to expand the locations where they offer local channels, more and more viewers will be able to receive their local PBS station(s) instead of the PBS national feed.

Change to the National PBS Feed Starting November 16, 2007
As you are aware, PBS has provided a one-day delayed primetime schedule that distinguished the satellite service from local PBS stations' primetime listings. Due to satellite capacity constraints as PBS expands digital programming, PBS has made the decision to consolidate some of its satellite feeds. This process means that the PBS service available on DIRECTV and DISH Network will no longer delay the primetime schedule, but will align all programming for DBS customers alongside those on PBS member stations throughout the country. This change is to take place on Friday, November 16, 2007 with the evenings's primetime schedule.
