    does anyone remember the Ohio News Network?

    I miss ONN never watched it on satellite but had it on Time Warner cable. Stinks that it was not profitable for the former owners of WBNS-TV (The Wolfe family) to continue. They ran it out of a double-wide trailer next to the WBNS Studios in Columbus :)

August 31st the Ohio focused cable news network will sign off.. Dispatch reports...

    History Gone?

    Interesting Hotel Net/Lodge Net decided to go with D*... I guess it makes sense for their business decisions... It's always "interesting" to see what your going to get when you stay in a hotel.. Most recent hotel visit I stayed in a Hilton in Boston and they had a mix of "locals (which came...

    NEW RTN FTA BIRD

    I know this is sorta off topic but I get RTN on cable now. WCMH 4 replaced NBC Weather + channel that went off air with RTN and the local cable company carries it on digital cable.

    Can a blizzard kill satellite UPLINK?

    When SportstimeOhio came on and was not a 24/7 channel, the cable company I subscribed to had at the time had a 'no signal' screen that would appear when there was no Indians game going on or anything coming down from the network.. It was always interesting to see a 'STO game begins at xx:xx...

    Any other FTA'ers from the Columbus, OH area?

    yeah I see Fortec dishes all over Columbus. I currently live in a place that's impossible to have any dishes or I would have a few up myself.

    Where in the world is “Channel One Network?”

    Yeah I remember the old big Grey channel one head end unit from High school. Prssing in both buttons at once would turn on tv's on etc.. :) Inside the old gray analog setup they had two vcr's and a sat receiver. You could put a tape in the vcr accessable from the front to play back a school...

    GodTV on Galaxy23 help

    I think the Olympusat grouping of channels TBN networks uses to get their signals to some of their TV stations, affils and to some cable companies. TBN is very "outreach" oriented I would think they will as long as the cash is flowing in for their ministry have some form of FTA outreach.

    I've lost my Spirit TV :(

    Spirit's website is still up and the webstream is still up so it looks like they just stopped the Cband transmission at this time. Probally cheaper for them to send an internet feed to skyangel for the new iptv service.

    I've lost my Spirit TV :(

    That's odd, their website still says they will be on SkyAngel IPTV and the webstream is still up on their website.

    ? on FM radio satellite feeds

    I would suspect there are deals on having X number of stations running the same format. Dal Global (used to be WestWood One) ABC Radio Networks Jones Radio are the 3 providers of the satellite delivered music networks using the starguide platform (though I believe jones is moving...

    ? on FM radio satellite feeds

    These broadcasts require a C-Band dish pointed out to I think its 137W and require a special "authorized" satellite receiver called a StarGuide III that must maintain a network/phone connection to stay authorized to the network in question. Radio stations airing these 24/7 Satellite networks...

    Big 10 Network...... Bad TV?

    Is it true that BTN shows like 5 minutes of Commericals each break?? I was listening to the Michigan vs. Northwestern game online yesterday (since I cant get BTN here which was showing the game) and the radio guys on the Michigan Radio Network where making a comment that it seemed like the BTN...

    Subscription Radio Channels with FTA RX?

    Michael, One would think that the CRC channels could be uplink/ encoded in a way that you could block them from FTA. I would think the Unity 4000 (u4k) could handle it. Fox used to use the U4k with video capabilties at one point for FSN programming to some cable providers so I would suspect...

    Subscription Radio Channels with FTA RX?

    When a station wants to carry a networks programming they have to sign an agreement usually so a station would not willingly be cut off from skylight's programming or salem's or anyone elses for that matter if they had a legit contract to use it... if a station had an agreement with say...

    Subscription Radio Channels with FTA RX?

    Ive worked with Christian radio before in the past, I think the reason Michael is asking is if you use a Unity receiver and try to tune into those channels SMA SMB and SMC they will go slient after a few mins if your not authorized to receive the programming, skylight does the same thing now...

    Channel 1 For School and EtNetworks

    You can watch the news thru the channel one website -- yea that's not the same as catching it off the bird. Looks like the wiki article is not 100% accurate -- they are still in business -- im watching the news broadcast for March 13th right now off their website as I type this. I remember...

    Looks like Equity is down

    If their OTA stations showed "no signals" etc.. I suspect it was an issue with the up link site and not a "mass exit" From the sounds of it -- color bars - RTN logos, frozen frames etc... I am would suspect they had some form of electrical power failure which took their whole facility off line...

    FM Squared Broadcasts?

    Ohio State vs Indiana Feed

    Many probally wish they had Dish Network, Direct TV or a BUD today.... the only local cable system here in Columbus to carry ESPNU would be insight cable which only services part of town and they carry it in a high end Digital Tier.
