METV is Back

[Bruce]

While it's great having MeTV back, it's also why I'm not particularly thrilled it's as a streaming feed...HD or NOT.

What is wrong with that?

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.

I have it here in Kentucky.

The same reason I didn't like it on FrndlyTV...having the broadcast feed altered with "substitute" programming, that doesn't seem to be as good as what should actually be there...

What programming does the national/streaming feed replace?

It was not there last week. I did look.

SO I am very happy about this... and again I say get MeTV Toons now too!

Same here, while I can get it OTA, great to have it with a guide

I checked as far as I could and the streaming and ota feeds are the same in the Birmingham DMA.

The programming shows are the same, it is the episodes that may be substituted. Again, I noticed this with a Matlock episode yesterday. Both the steaming and OTA feeds were showing Matlock, but the episodes were different between the OTA and streaming feeds.

And, as I mentioned in my earlier post, when this happens, the streaming feed does not have the MeTV logo in the lower righhand screen. It is blank with no logo.

I could be wrong, but from what I can tell, substituting a different streaming episode versus the OTA episode is rare and for the most part, the OTA and streaming feeds are the same.

Streaming guide only goes a couple of days out. Then check back later if you go three days. Noticed this at my buddy's house when I tried to set up a timer for Saturday night shows on Metv.

I was able to set a timer for Svengoolie by search for Svengoolie.
