Can You Watch Satellite Television If Your Television Only Goes Up To Channel 69?

My 20 year old television is dying so I bought an eight year old used television, which appears to be in perfect condition, but when I use the antenna, it only goes up to channel 69. My DirecTV runs off of channel 92.

Check your satellite receiver’s documentation closely for options re output connections. It really should be able to send a low-numbered VHF channel to your TV, plus there should be alternative outputs like A-V or component jacks. If necessary, a call to DirecTV may give you a solution.

There never was an Over The Air channel 92. The highest they ever used was channel 83. After February, the top of the band will be channel 52.
I used to have a Magnavox TV that used “channel 92″ to select the Audio / Video (A/V) inputs. Is your satellite receiver connected to the TV with the yellow/red/white connectors? If so, you need to figure out how to change your set to the A/V input.
