Now we're talking. Looks like I'm adding yet another streaming service subscription. Sigh...

Why, the majority of programming on meTV and the digital subchannels, is found on PlutoTV and the likes for free.

Since Pluto does on demand , no reason to watch content on the sub channels.

There is if you have a DVR and want to skip commercials.

True, but you are still paying for more reruns.

If you get them OTA, how are you paying for them?

I already have Frndly so this is an added happiness for me

Lol.

 

[Mr Tony]

Since MeTV+ is only on most Weigel owned stations (and no non Weigel stations) this is sweet for folks that have asked for it.

 

[Mr Tony]

Frndly tv site says it will be added Wednesday October 4th

So what is MeTV +? Anything different than Metv?

Yes. Different programs

It is carried OTA on most Weigel owned stations which is only 25ish affiliates.

I have had it OTA since the beginning, but the OTA guide on my TV does not go out farther than 8-10 hours. So I will finally have a good guide. Even Tablo & the Recast do not have guides for METV+.

Yes. Different programs

And also most of the LPTV and Weigel owned translators. We have one of the LPTV's that has it.

The only non Weigel owned stations that have it are translators that carry the Weigel owned stations (and those are in Utah).

I don't know how many translators/LPTV's that Weigel has, but there must be quite a few. I was surprised to get one for Astoria OR. They bought up one of the translator CPs (36) and put it on the air (5 KW ERP), later converted it to an LPTV.

Is it also on an app? Just checked and there is no app for that one. So I guess the only way if Friendly Tv.

no app. MeTV+ until now has only been on those Weigel owned stations. Frndly is the first "outside of Weigel signals" to get it. Hopefully there isnt any changes due to rights (Catchy Comedy as example cant show some shows so we get replacement shows on Frndly)
