Holy cow, what is this? Did you find a "holy grail"? I can cast these to my tv set using Chrome browser, and my Chromecast.

The diginets with the lower numbers come from a local OTA station in Kansas City, KCKS/WROB/KMJC. But it's nice having RT and bunch of the others in beautiful HD

Could come in handy if you are recording something on sat, and can't change right then to watch something else.

I haven't done a complete side-by-side comparison, but it appears that iGoCast has more of the mainstream diginet channels than Pluto. There is some overlap for sure.

I have it down loaded to my computer but cannot figure out how to cast it to chrome cast. Does it have to be through the chrome browser?

Yes, you have to bring it up in the Chrome browser, then cast it to your tv set, where you have the Chromecast connected.

It's good, but it needs some improvement. The C-SPAN channels look highly pixelated like they're being taken from a source that's 160 pixels. The Retro TV channel doesn't have the audio synched with the video.

I see the link in chrome to cast to chromecast but I don't use chromecast. What I did was took an old broken screen laptop and hooked it straight to my tv. Reason I would rather do it that way is cause you can do allot more with an old laptop then you can with any box or dongle, You can even build in a dvr with the laptop and a atsc dongle for antenna. I use Webgrabplus and add all the channels to a tvguide I do. So I can put all the channels linked to it, Just like the cable company or just like sling,directvNow and so on.

Get a Fire Stick and use one of the browsers and you can get it right to your TV without casting. It is great finally having access to my most wanted TV channel, Antenna TV.

I found this source from a fellow poster in a forum I believe was OTA about 3 weeks ago. Recently we lost Antenna TV, & RETRO TV. Both also are now on an LP station. The main feeds of Antenna TV and THIS seem to be a satellite feed as no local ad insertions like WRCB did in the Chattanooga market. Instead they replaced Antenna TV with Light TV..no problem except I can stream it as well. We did gain ION on 3.3 however. But I do like the selection as well as the "OnDemand" free shows. I'm no "youngin.." But there are shows I'm streaming I've never heard of in that section. I bookmarked it to laptop & use an HDMI to tv. IMO nifty little service!!

I believe it will scroll if you get an optional mini-keyboard remote for the Fire Stick

I have the same issue. I went to the site on the computer, and made a list of their channel line up. I just type in Antenna TV, THIS, RTV, etc and the channel shows up and I click on it.

It can be tricky using any kind of mouse to scroll using the scroll bar on the right side..even on a larger tv screen! I, too sometimes just type in the search menu.

I have found just typing in the channel and clicking on it is much easier. Funny thing is, on the Fire Stick, if I use Silk, often the channel I am watching will bounce back to the top channel at times (Buzzr). The other, browser Firefox, I don't have that issue.

The other day I clicked an icon on the right side of the guide area, and the guide changed to light from dark. At that point I could get the guide to move. However it is still clunky.
