Is METV Coming Back?

No CH 247 in the Houston Metro. Is this location specific? I have AT120+

You need to have an internet connected receiver such as a Hopper or Wally.

I have that. Fully internet connected, streaming apps work fine. Just no 247. I also don't get NewsNation, not sure if that's in AT120+, but these 2 channels don't show up even in the unsubscribed list.

Same here with the 200 package. H3 is internet connected.

I also just checked my Sling TV account and MeTV is available there as well. (I have the Blue Package)

I do not see channel 247 on my H3+ and H3. I have AT200 and Internet connected. I do have MeTV by satellite and OTA locals. Could that be the reason I don't get channel 247?

I am wondering if I am seeing it because I am a beta tester? I only looked as the other person posted they have it now, and I had it too. I don't know if the other user is a member of the Beta Program as well.

If its not generally available yet then I do apologize. But it does appear to be coming soon, which makes me happy as now I can record Svengoolie with guide data. My local TV has no guide data on my Hopper.

Most likely, as that was how it was when it was previously added, in those markets where MeTV is a satellite delivered local channel - it's also like that when DirecTV added MeTV nationally...

You already get it via KYAZ-51 in your locals pkg, which is why you're most likely not getting the national version...

I get it over the air as well. But Dish does not supply it to me as part of my locals package. I did get MeTV before on 247 when it was on Satellite.

I am going to try reaching out to MeTV and get this clarified.

My dad has MeTV on his internet connected receiver on 247 when I called him last night. He has the Hopper with Sling if I recall. It records the prime time programming automatically but he can record three things max normally.

Ok I have sent a note to MeTV, I feel they can give me a better answer of where its available and I will update things when I get a reply.
