DirecTV 10 is NOT in position. It needs to be at 102.775, and it's currently still at 102.5674 (well, the last TLE is over 24 hours old and showed it at 102.5674, and we haven't heard where it is "right now"). No confirmation as to whether it has parked at the broadcast location, is still at the testing location, or in-transit.
Not as specific as that, but I heard from a buddy who works in aerospace (no idea what he does... it's classified nonsense and all that) that they were having a problem with "1 of the sats... and it it would be broadcasting at the end of the month."
