I thought I would see the mix channel also with all the flooding in Mobile, Pensacola, DC, Baltimore and NY/NJ. Didn't happen. Hopefully when they do bring the mix channel back, it will have local stations instead of CNN, MSNBC, FOX and HLN.
As far as weekends go, they are live in the morning, but from 2 pm Central forward...nothing but reality shows...unless there's a big severe weather outbreak or snowstorm.
Over the last two weeks, I have experienced this weird thing with my DTV service. What would happen is that for some odd reason, my local channels would be replaced by other channels or blacked out. This would last anywhere from 5-15 minutes then the local channels would come back as if nothing...
Yeah, those reality shows aren't going anywhere. However, it's good (for now) that they've relegated them to 8 pm-4 am Eastern. I'd like for them to hold off until 10 pm Eastern.
