    MeTV Removed from Dish

    It's still in my guide, EPG still says "MeTV is not available"...maybe has something to do with that our market doesn't have a sat delivered MeTV local affiliate. (ie: if you weren't getting it on 247 while it was active, you still wouldn't see the guide entry now...) The visibility (tiering)...

    MeTV Removed from Dish

    I'm sure Dr Phil is actually paying DISH, just as he's paying DirecTV & all the TBN affiliates to carry it - "pay-for-play": https://www.satelliteguys.us/xen/threads/directv-transponder-map-data-3-20-2024.402660/page-50#post-4884905

    MeTV Removed from Dish

    Bad news for those hoping for MeTV coming back - Merit Street Media's website (Dr Phil's new TV ch) is now showing it coming on 4/2 to ch 247 in HD :eeek

    DIRECTV Transponder Map ~ Data 3/27/2024

    So is Dr Phil ALSO "paying-for-play" to be on DirecTV sat/stream? Or are they actually paying him something?

    DIRECTV Transponder Map ~ Data 3/27/2024

    Just curious, why was WSLN placed on it's physical ch 9 in the EPG, when it's actual PSIP display ch is 19? (& 19 isn't currently used for another local ch)

    DirecTV allows subs to drop locals

    I can - I had a couple of HR20's (with built-in OTA tuner that works just like an AM21) & recorded several OTA shows on locals that DirecTV did not offer, via the DirecTV provided EPG data.

    BBC News Moving to Streaming Only

    I'm now getting the new streaming version of BBC News but only have AT250...it appears to be in HD, but doesn't seem quite as sharp as other HD channels.

    D11 outage 2/27/2024 (Resolved on 2/28)

    So related to this topic...I'm confused about how the sat signal meters work on a DirecTV receiver. When D11 died, I could obviously see that all the x-ponders on 99cb were 0's...but since D11 also has spot beams, where are those signals shown? Are those then shown on the 99s meter selection...

    D11 outage 2/27/2024 (Resolved on 2/28)

    The problem is, with that long list of local markets that are affected by this spot-beam sat issue, phasing out SD dupes likely still isn't going to help finding enough bandwidth for all those local markets, since the vast majority are already ONLY in HD, AND there is no other "spot beam"...

    BBC News Moving to Streaming Only

    Except the online notice that's posted doesn't say anything about it changing to HD - unlike the way it said so when Pursuit changed. The bad part either way - like all other streaming-only channels, nothing can be DVR'd. :mad:
