It would have been nice if they had put this update on DishPromise. Normally, any time a dispute is resolved, they routinely post a message "We are happy to announce that we have reached an agreement with [fill in the blank] and your channels have been restored." This especially should have happened this time, since it is only a temporary agreement, and there is still a chance that the channels could be removed again. However, DishPromise is not giving any kind of heads-up about what is going on here. All I get is "There are currently no local programming disputes for the ZIP Code entered."
MeTV is not on Roku. When you search for, it comes up in the search but it takes you to a channel called LeMelle. What ever that is.
There is an app called something like free2view (or something like that) that has METV and many others in it.
Dude, I posted the Roku links to the two apps that have Metv and others in that post! Click on the hyperlinks called "Roku" and it'll take you directly to the apps in the channel store.
I still have MeTv on my channel lineup. I'm currently watching Green Acres, so I am not sure why some still have the channel, while others do not.Looks like MeTV and Dish have not come to a new deal and the channel was removed this evening. There are quite a few tweets to Dish about dropping the channel. Dish Promise.com says that MeTV backed out of a handshake deal.
Maybe this is why the OTA channel listing in Chicago was fixed for MeTV last week
It was removed for a couple of hours on the evening when this thread started. Dish and MeTV came to a temporary agreement, so it could be removed again whenever that agreement expires.
You can't normally stream it for free, at least Weigel doesn't offer that option themselves. At present, the Roku app I posted is the only legal free streaming option for Metv that's accessible to the average person. I posted it to help out people here that need a way to do so, while this contract dispute goes on.
The same could be said about the locals when Locast was streaming them for "free." Look how that turned out.
The one channel that I wish Dish would add to their lineup would be Decades. It is on my local cable company lineup, but not on my OTA.
