Without a doubt the RTN channels. I love the old shows.

PBS on AMC3 and the feeds. Not too much into RTN anymore unless there is nothing else on.

Not necessarily my favorite, but as alternative FTA 24HR news channels in English on Galaxy 25 (97W):

• Al Jazeera International
• Press TV
• Russia Today

 

[Mr Tony]

well lets see
sports wise
any channel that has a hockey game (preferably HD)..this includes the FSSN

news wise
Russia Today
Al Jazeera Int'l

Other
AMGTV on C-Band (they have wrestling on there)
NASA on C-Band
Retro Jams

For news, all of the feeds , Al Jazeera English, MHz Worldview when they have France 24 news on and NYN when they have DW-TV Journal on. Russia Today has some interesting documentaries on sometimes too.

I am looking into putting in a C-Band dish so I can get BBC World @ 127W and another C-Band dish at 58W so I can get EuroNews, CCTV 9 and DW-TV.

1. ANY feed of my favorite sports team (hint: anyone from New England)
2. Retrojams
3. Any yankee game so that I can root for them to lose

I like the RTN channels, MeTV looks to be great also, but I do not receive it.
WWME : MeTV
I am missing The Tube, but Retrojams is filling the void.

If I told ya, I'd have to kill ya.

Probably say NASA tv, that was the #1 reason I finally decided to buy a dvb receiver. When NASA dumped the analog feed which I had watched for years, I had to go for it. And after that, the RTN channels. I finally just hooked up a sep dish/receiver for NASA so I wouldn't have to switch things.
Now all I have to do is push the input button on the tv remote to go from reg FTA to NASA FTA, don't even have OTA channels hooked up often.

You know there may be something to this. When you brag up on our favorite FTA channels the big guys (pizza pan providers) are listening and demand for our most liked stations uplinks be encrypted. Take The Outdoor Channel for example. Was in the clear for many many years now is not. I have a feeling that popularity forces some of them to do the dirty non-fta deed. Just a thought. :

Just a thought. :

Not just a thought my friend, fact. Documented numerous times.

I have a LOT of favorites up there in the sky. Sometimes not enough, sometimes too much to choose from.
