I was afraid they would be encrypted! That does suck! I can get some of it on Friendly but the quality of the picture is pitiful compared to anything else and OTA is a no go here. Well it was an awful good run and I'll miss them but not anything I can do bout it now as Willie Nelson sang LOL

The loss of Weigel channels could mean the "the beginning of the end" to the FTA hobby!
Many of us have been saying that for decades. I will say that 5G really did a number on my C-Band enjoyment. The 5G filtered LNB's only help a little at my location.

It's likely going to be the end for me, because that's the sat and mux I watched the most. That an FETV on 99w, which left some time ago. I'll likely go to FRNDLY, and set up a DOCKER on an always-on computer for my Channels DVR. I have Metv, Metv Toons, Start, and H&I local, but not Movies or Catchy Comedies

I went to Friendly a while back but I cant say I'm all that pleased with the content or programming quality. They seem to pick and choose what and when they air things. H&I is the worst if you like Walker Texas Ranger then this is the place to be. They only show one Combat and no 12 O Clock High which I recorded weekly. I'm beginning to think it wasn't a good move

Is anybody seeing issues with the Daystar channel on 101W now? It was coming in fine all day (and was how I knew for sure I was still on 101W).
Now I am seeing bad picture and sound breakup for it. :confused:

Some shows Weigel doesn't have the rights to stream so they have to change the schedule around.

I'm getting Daystar and JTV as open FTA on my 8ft SAMI dish. Weigel stuff is all dark BISS.
 
I wonder what's up here then. It was fine earlier in the day when the rest of 101W had gone MIA, now nada. Guess I will have to put fresh eyes on it in the morning - too tired tonight. ;)
I don't think anyone is getting the Wiegel mux. I still can't get a picture on H&I even though my C/N is 15.5 dB.
