Did Antenna TV add more affiliates?

[Corrado]

Last night I found that I gained a new retro TV channel OTA on 51.2 WYNA from Albany, NY and it's programming so far matches the Antenna TV schedule. It doesn't display any kind of onscreen logo or station ID other than WYNA in the EPG. Looks like another new favorite.

It's not listed as a affiliate on the website and the nearest is WPIX in NYC.

wiki shows that WNYA did add Antenna TV recently

Around April 20, 2011, WNYA launched their first digital subchannel in the form of Tribune Broadcasting's Antenna TV over Channel 51.2.

I wish Minneapolis would get some more subchannels....but I guess the stations would rather have reruns of newscasts or outdated 24/7 weather than real TV options

 

[freezy]

i would like ftv as a sub. but yes it would be nice to get some choices

 

[Bob2011]

Yes its already on titantv.com and the station's website shows it as ATV

I just wish my Albuquerque's TV market, would add more subchannels....

Retro TV, is still not on the air on so called KRTN-LD still showing Spanish programings.

Would also love to get Antennatv network comes to Albuquerque's TV market, but may take some time.:

I've been enjoying Antenna TV now for several days and it's nice to see some programs like "Dennis the Menace", "The Benny Hill Show", and "The Three Stooges" airing locally. I hope other markets add this network for others to enjoy.

looking at the list you've got a better selection than I do in Minneapolis

wiki says in late 08 they were gonna sign with RTV but then we all know what happened in early 09....red screen of death
Maybe they and Luken can't come to an agreement

This past weekend while at my parent's house near Allentown, PA I noticed that their "Antenna TV" channel 16.2 WNEP interrupts the "Antenna TV" programming often to show the local news instead. For example Saturday morning they don't air cartoons and Sunday morning they don't air an hour or two of The Three Stooges. Once I install their OTA antenna outside they will be able to receive "Antenna TV" from Philadelphia Channel 17 to see if that station is better.

 

[Mr Tony]

some of the affiliates can pre-empt stuff. I know WNEP-DT2 does high school sports (seen lots of them on FTA). They use Antenna TV as a filler

Its like a RTV affiliate we have in MN. WDIO-DT2 (Duluth) has RTV but they pre-empt it for Mn Wild hockey (the ones that we see on 45 in Minneapolis)

Is WNEP-DT2 FTA???

LyngSat shows it as so but I do not think it is...

 

[Mr Tony]

yes and no

WNEP-DT2 USE to be RTV affiliate. That was in one of the muxes on 87W (the S2 RTV muxes)
Since they switched to Antenna TV the RTV channel is now a black screen. Antenna TV is not free anywhere (its scrambled on C-Band)

WNPE-DT2 did high school football and basketball games that would be uplinked on KU Band...sats varied. But they had that huge

Correction: The WNEP RTV channel on AMC 3 is now The Pursuit Channel.

 

[Mr Tony]

interesting...while this is not owned by Luken and was on C-Band (G17) it is availbale on Directv and some low powered stations.

According to Sathint The Pursuit Channel is also part of the Luken channels on AMC 7.

AMC 7
137.0° West Pursuit
Pilot 0 or Off H.254 Channel started: Encryption: Clear - Category: General - TP: 4072 H 18748

 

[Mr Tony]

correct

 

[Corrado]

If wonder if it's possible to tune the 4160H mux with a 6' dish? It has a listed FEC of 1/2 if that's correct. My 10' can't see AMC 7 anymore but my PortaBUD could. I might give it a try.

 

[Mr Tony]

I had the 6 footer at 137W the last 2 days for something else and couldnt lock them. But then again I am going off info from sites (and not blind scan) so if you find them let me know

I know at one time I did lock them...but my 6 footer is ghetto moved
