Don't Panic, It's KPIX 5! (Unless You're a Trekkie)
Here's the good news, delivered faster than a sourdough starter can rise: CBS in San Francisco on DIRECTV is on channel 5. That's right, channel 5! No need to pack your bags and head to Los Angeles for KCBS on channel 391 (although, if you're a die-hard Star Trek fan on a mission to see the original bridge of the Enterprise at the Hollywood Walk of Fame, well, that's a whole other adventure).
But wait, you might say, with a hint of lingering paranoia honed by years of confusing cable guides. Is this some kind of Bay Area DIRECTV prank? We assure you, it's not. KPIX 5 has been the loyal CBS affiliate for the San Francisco Bay Area for years, bringing you everything from the season finale of "Survivor" to the heartwarming tearjerkers of "60 Minutes."

Now that you've conquered the channel surfing Everest, here are a few things you can do to celebrate:
Tip: Take mental snapshots of important details.
