Thread: WFAA ABC DALLAS 8.3 now has "THIS"

Does anyone else have "THIS" service it seems to be old movies and TV shows and I would expect some connection to Disney because of ABC. It is an improvement over the TRAFFIC channel it replaced but these seem to be really old shows.

THiS KC is awesome, I think there's also one in Tampa Bay. I believe that there's a link between THiS and MGM, but I haven't proven it yet. Too bad it's all 480i 4:3.

We have it here in Lubbock as 11.2, the only drawback is it takes bandwidth from 11.1 for the 1080i NBC HD signal.

My THiS is "robbing" bandwidth from CW, which I don't watch, but I also have NBC ActionWeather on 41.2, so I wouldn't know the difference. 41.1 (KSHB) still looks better OTA than it does from Dish.

The network's basis is the library of MGM material not taken by Turner in the 1986 merger (in short Turner bought MGM and UA, sold the rights to 95% of its library to his channels, and then sold the remainder back off).

Cartoons are from a Canadian outfit called Cookie Jar TV.

Been watching movies on This for a while now (I get it via C-Band satellite)
Its actually a pretty neat channel

Plus Mr. Ed and Patty Duke, Sea Hunt, Outer Limits for those of you from the TV generation. I have noticed Stargate SG1 (the early years) on the weekends. They also do themed days - picking an actor or genre.

I love the old Ray Milland movies.

Frogs.
The Thing With Two Heads.

Old war movies and John Wayne last night.

Was actually a pretty good night for watching This network.

In a 6 Mhz signal, there is enough room for one high definition signal and two sub channels in standard definition. It is called 8 VSB -
