thanks jogon64 :)

I checked out this new "Amazing Facts" channel, I think they should have named it "The Doug Batchelor Show" :)

I hope they improve the video quality, it's not very clear on my Coolsat.

The new channel, Amazing Facts Television (AFTV), will be available for viewing beginning tomorrow, March 19, 2010, at 9:00 am ET. The channel lineup is still under construction, so please be patient. A regular schedule will be announced in the next few weeks.

Yep it's the Doug show for sure. Used to watch him many years ago. Some of what he said made sense some didn't add up lol ....Blind

I wonder what the content of "Amazing Discoveries" will be? It'll be interesting to see what they come up with...

Here is a weird question relating to the other channels that arent up yet

When I first saw LLNB Chinese, LLBN Arabic etc I figured it would just be the same feed as English but different language...wonder if it will be that or totally different?

If it's anything like 3ABN Latino or HOPE channel International feeds, LLBN's foreign language channels should be a totally separate programming line up.

Concerning "Amazing Facts" vs "Amazing Discoveries", there's only so much of Doug Batchelor programming and it looks like Amazing Facts is airing nearly everything thus far but I haven't watched it in length to see if they broadcast any of his "Amazing Discoveries" series videos. If Amazing Discoveries is limited to only the "Amazing Discoveries" series, then it would be boring to see re-runs within it's limitations unless they plan on adding other content or combine it with either other existing Doug Batchelor prophecy serie's or new programming. It would be sensless for them to overlap with same programming on two networks. They will need to be creative to capture an audience's attention. It seems to me that they jumped the gun without much planning in advance and now they're scrambling to conjure up something to broadcast. Although, 3ABN and HOPE TV started out the same way and eventually created new programming. Amazing Facts has a lot of work to do if they want these networks to be successful. Everything that Amazing Facts is broadcasting has already been aired on 3ABN, HOPE and other National and International networks, therefore they're already re-runs. :cool:

Yes, it's the same. One thing to note is that the major providers don't usually charge an extra premium for such networks as in the case with Dish Network. 3ABN (Three Angels Broadcasting) is free to Dish Network subscribers and the HOPE TV network is free to DirecTV subscriber's. The 3ABN network is on 129.0°W and requires a system capable of receiving broadcasts from this bird which nowadays most subscriber's do have for HD programming.

Amazing Facts may eventually endeavor to be added to these two major provider's programming to widen their outreach. :cool:

Thanks Gary, I thought it was, the title confused me then because I thought Doug has a series titled "Amazing Discoveries" doesn't he? And I thought that Walter, Brian & Victor work for Amazing Facts or at least one time they may have.

What is Amazing Facts?

In addition to the other replies, Amazing Facts adopted it's name from how they commonly use factual events and historical facts to represent and convey a message. This is based on the "fact" that Bible prophecy is history written in advance and history is Bible prophecy fulfilled.

Sounds interesting. Sure beats shows about Colon Cleansers and amazing shammies.

LOL, :D One thing about these religious shows, they don't have those commercial shows. Hey, you didn't mention EXtenz or Viagra :eek:

Ah yes a sermon on being fruitful and multiplying followed by a Viagra commercial...there's one for ya lol....Blind:o

Personally, I am not a religious zealot, but I find the progamming on Amazing Facts to be excellent!

When I first tuned into it, I had other expectations than just Doug Batchelor's wonderful sermons and eloquent motivational talks. Yes, I had a bit of hope that it would be something like a cross between Ripley's Beleive it or Not and the History channel. Well, it isn't that, but it is really neat!

The very first program that I witnessed, Doug was talking about the novella "The Titan" or something close to that. And comparing it to the actual historical encounter of "The Titanic". I was amazed at the similarities between the account of the actual Titanic episode and the fictional story, written 14 years earlier. That was so profound that I immediately went searching for more information on the book that "foretold" the demise of the Titanic. I found a lot of interesting facts above and beyond just this information. It seems that the more you search for one specific answer, the more questions you develop and the more answers you find for other issues and topics along the way.

Stuff like this interests me highly and generates enthusiasm to search for more.

If I can symboloize this and better, it is like jumping into a rowboat and floating down the Missouri River to reach the Mississippi Delta. At each turn in the river, with each bend and each sandbar, each town or city that I pass and every jetty and tributary that I find, I learn something new. Something even more profound then my original pursuit to reach the delta.

The pursuit of knowledge in this way is just so fantastic and amazing! I float along in a slow moving boat and the knowledge of the world just comes to me like a motion picture in 3D with scents and sounds and sights to behold!

What a fantastic journey! I not only see what is on display for the present, I see what is there from the past, too. History, recent history and ancient history!

Yes, Amazing Facts was not exactly what I expected, but it is so enlightening that I enjoy it very much! I thank the producers of this channel for making it available!

I might have a new customer for FTA just because of this. My friend, Dave, is quite religious and I think that he would absolutely LOVE this channel. I wrote him an email to discuss it. I have been trying to persuade him (gently) to get set up with a FTA satellite system, and this channel might really intice him to make a move on this. He has five or six kids and I think that FTA would be great for their education and religion.

All I can say is "excellent"! And "Thanks"!

Radar, your discovery is profound! I've been watching Doug and other's on 3ABN since the 911 incident. Your story sounds much like mine. Not only does Doug examine historic events, he also examines the future in relation to the Bible and how the Bible fortells the past, present and future, just keep watching and you'll be amazed. I like your comment about how as you search, more questions arise and answers follow. It's endless and there's something new around every bend as you explained. What an amazing testimony you have. Doug has a kid's program called "Amazing Discoveries", that's why I got confused with the other new network. Your friend's children should enjoy it as well.

BTW, last night as I was programming another one of my receivers, I did a blind scan on 97W Ku and found that they mirrored the channels from 11842 on the new TP 11960 but there gone today. I suppose they are testing. The QS was about 15% weaker than 11842.

Here I go again, confused about names... I stand corrected again, I said that Doug has a kid's series called "Amazing Discoveries" but it's actually "Amazing Adventures"

Sorry for the confusion!
