Thread: Food Network

Does anyone know if food network is available on any FTA satellites?

It's encrypted, but the only feed I know of is on AMC 10 - C Band.

Ahhh.. I see, thanks.
I was planning to cancel my cable, and this is the only channel my wife watches regularly... It is available on basic cable, I might end up keeping that.

On AMC 10 (4DTV) DC 2 you get the master east and west feed plus HGTV E&W, DIY, Great American County & Fine Living. It costs about $6.00 a month for all of the above. Beats the hell out of cable or pizza prices and picture quality

Thank you so much for your answer. Where can I get more information about these subscription based plans on satellite? (Not Dish/DirecTV) Is it even possible to get my local channels over satellite somehow, or is there a receiver with built in OTA tuner? (is it ATS now?)

You will need a 4DTV receiver to get that group of channels, and no 4DTV receiver has an OTA tuner, digital or otherwise.

Standalone OTA tuners aren't that expensive really, and for the small investment are worth it, being it is free after that.

I found it, but it doesn't include Food Network.
Programming Center offers only these Do-It-Yourself • Food Network E/W
• Fine Living • Great American Country • HGTV E/W for $11.19 or $7.50 if paid annually.

They do have nice packages, but for some reason some of those don't include Food. Do you know what is W5?

NPS has a similar package with limited channels for $14.58/mo when paid annually.

I just spoke to Time Warner, their basic package is $16/mo without the box (it is just local channels 1-13 + Food and HSN).

classicsat,
Thanks for letting me know. I had no idea about 4DTV.. Do they also require special lnb, etc?
I have my visionsat, which doesn't have OTA tuner built in. So I was hoping I could get both my local OTA channels and the stuff I can subscribe to from the same box. Now that all broadcast is digital, I guess it would have to be ATSC tuner.

As far as the Scripps mini pack look here.

I have it on my DSR 922 (4DTV)

If you have a C band dish you can get a 4DTV and sub to this package. It's all uphill with the money you save on C band from then on.
