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.

Already had MeTv with my Seattle locals on Dish so this isn't anything new for me (but I'm happy for the rest of you). Direct just got MeTV Toons and I would be VERY interested in that one if Dish can get it!

Someone in another forum is saying they do not get see this channel. Is it possible that this is not delivered if a subscriber gets their local MeTV through DISH?

That would be correct just like when DISH had MeTV before
