State High School Hockey Tournament

Hello, 

I am curious why I am not able to get a local channel here in Waseca, MN 56093. I am hoping to be able to watch the MSHSL Mens State Hockey Tournament. But the channel is unavailable for some reason. Is there a way I can add this channel? Every other cable provider in my zipcode, carries it but not directv? Please Help.

Thank you,

Hello, there. As sports fans, we know how essential it is to have our favorite games available in one place, so let's find out together why this is happening. Can you confirm what channel you are trying to watch? You can check the available local channels on your ZIP Code here https://www.directv.com/satellite/channel-lineup/?tab=rsn.

45TV is a sub-channel so therefore it is not carried on DIRECTV. You cannot add it or choose to subscribe to it as it is not available in the first place.

You can, however, set up an OTA antenna and connect it to the back of your TV. Then, search for digital DTV channels (Air). You will need to use either an indoor channel or outdoor channel, depending on the strength of 45TV in your area.
