Thanks for the heads-up. The wife likes what she saw when she looked ahead in the guide to see what they have to offer, but I did not.

Dirty Dancing is playing tonight. Surely you aren't saying you don't like Patrick Swayze?

Boo indeed, particularly for a movie channel - but if it's any consolation, it's only SD on DirecTV satellite as well...

According to their website, they broadcast only in 480i.

I wanted to post a report on this channel but the ribbon on my teletype dried out.

A little WD-40 will bring that ribbon back to life!

Thanks for bringing back that memory!

Can you provide the link from their website for this...I looked all over & can't find a thing that states any resolution of their service.

Honestly I find it hard to believe their main network feed is only 480i in 2025, when many other network feeds of channels like this (think Weigel networks, etc.) originate in 720p - even though they obviously get downgraded on most OTA (sub)channels.

According to RabbitEars, there are some areas that have it in 1080i or 720p OTA - Memphis and Tulsa are the two listed.
