  • List of Directv Channels (United States)

    List of Directv Channels (United States)

    List of DirecTV channels (United States) Below is a numerical representation of the current DirecTV national channel lineup in the United States. Some channels have both east and west feeds, airing the same programming with a three-hour delay on the latter feed, creating a backup for those who missed their shows. The three-hour delay also represents the time zone difference between Eastern (UTC -5/-4) and Pacific (UTC -8/-7). All channels are the East Coast feed if not specified. High definition Most high-definition (HDTV) and foreign-language channels may require a certain satellite dish or set-top box. Additionally, the same channel number is listed for both the standard-definition (SD) channel and the high-definition (HD) channel, such as 202 for both CNN and CNN HD. DirecTV HD receivers can tune to each channel separately. This is required since programming may be different on the SD and HD versions of the channels; while at times the programming may be simulcast with the same programming on both SD and HD channels. Part time regional sports networks and out of market sports packages will be listed as ###-1. Older MPEG-2 HD receivers will no longer receive the HD programming. Special channels In addition to the channels listed below, DirecTV occasionally uses temporary channels for various purposes, such as emergency updates (e.g. Hurricane Gustav and Hurricane Ike information in September 2008, and Hurricane Irene in August 2011), and news of legislation that could affect subscribers. The News Mix channels (102 and 352) have special versions during special events such as the 2008 United States Presidential Election night coverage and during the Inauguration of Barack Obama.

    Mississippi Trauma Care

    MISSISSIPPI TRAUMA CARE SYSTEM LIFE SAVING CARE IS NO ACCIDENT Amy Radican-Wald, MPH Senior Policy Analyst January 2007 Mississippi Trauma Care System, Page 2 of 46 J Table of Contents Executive Summary 3 History of Mississippi Trauma Care System Development 7 Burn Center 10 Trauma System Financing 14 Strengths of Mississippi’s Trauma Care System 16 Weaknesses of Mississippi’s Trauma Care System 20 Trauma System Options 24 Policy Implications 29 References 31 Appendix A 35 Appendix B 36 Appendix C 39 Appendix D 44 Mississippi Trauma Care System, Page 3 of 46 J Executive Summary The State of Mississippi has been building a formal statewide trauma system for over fifteen years. In recent years, barriers to progress have resulted in less than optimal trauma care statewide. A formalized system of trauma care helps injured patients receive specialized treatment at the closest capable facility. This type of system has been shown to reduce mortality. Further development of the trauma care system in Mississippi will be difficult unless existing barriers are addressed. This paper outlines the history of the trauma system in Mississippi, highlights its strengths and weaknesses, and discusses policy options for consideration by state policymakers. In 1991, the Mississippi Legislature charged the Department of Health with the responsibility for oversight of trauma system development. A trauma registry was established the following year. In 1997, the Legislature created the Trauma Care Task Force, an ad hoc seventeen-member group, to plan the development of a formal trauma system. The Task Force presented its recommendations to the Governor and the Legislature at the end of the same year.
