I have to agree with the Svengoolie going to 2/12 hours not necessarily being a good thing. I watch him when there's a movie I want to see, and I like the cast info, but I find all his other antics annoying. With an extra half hour of annoying antics I'll most likely be watching him far less, and as pointed out he doesn't show anything that isn't readily available elsewhere.

At least with Elvira Mistress of the Night her jokes were funny and she was hot looking. I never minded her bits or her ...........
It's all wasted now, she switched to the other team a few years ago...At least with Elvira Mistress of the Night her jokes were funny and she was hot looking. I never minded her bits or her ...........
I use to date a hot chick in College, who batted for the other team. She was what you would call a lipstick lesbian and wore feminine clothes and make up. She was very upfront about it and told me when I started to make advances that she was one. I tried to convert her anyway I could, but it never worked and I spent lot of time kissing and necking and petting with her instead of doing homework. But I did get her to go to my company Awards Banquet and she looked HOT as Hell and I got a lot of high fives from my male friends the next week afterwards. So it wasn't a total loss, because she would do my homework for me in the one class we had together. I got an A.
wow, this thread got derailed into something unrelated to the topic.

Too much Svengholie talk will do that to a thread...
I am really surprised if these diginets are beginning to demand a lot. As much as I enjoy several of them, they are not worth a lot. As stated they are full to re-runs that are available from many sources. In fact through the years, my favorite classic re-runs I have purchased on DVD. Except for a few that are not available on DVD or other sources, I could do without them. I grew up many of the shows. But again we are not talking about first run material put out today by a studio. Face it in many markets METV and others are free OTA. If bothers me as I thought being inexpensive to carry, Dish would look into more diginets like Antenna TV, Decades, Rewind, etv, but if they are starting to demand unreasonable fees, Dish and other carriers swill drop them. That is possible that Weigel may be demanding Dish to carry all of their channels, METV, METV+, Decades, Start TV, Story, Movies, & H&I.
Frndly TV is a cheap alternative. Fortunately we do have a Weigel LPTV here on the Oregon Coast that has all 7 of their channels. H&I & METV are in 720p. The rest are in SD, but look good.
I just checked and Frndly has 5 of the 7 Weigel networks, H&I, Start TV, Decades, METV, and Story TV. Their Website states "Movies: is coming soon. That will give them six. The only one missing will METV+. Frndy TV also has a DVR feature.

Free OTA does not mean free to cable and satellite providers. If the product has an audience they can demand $
Does Weigel even own any channels? I thought MeTV was usually a subchannel from another owner (Nexstar, Scripps, Hearst, Gray, etc) when it's on broadcast.
Yes they do including big 4 nets in Milwaukee and South Bend
Also the CW in Chicago

you pay for these channels and then they take them off and do not replace any other channels, there are 3 channels they have taken off. what a rip off . Dish not good any more, when my contract is up I will not stay with them.
THEY did not take them off, the channel has refused to allow carriage without a contract.
These channels were added with no increase in payment amounts why should they reduce your payment when the channel is suspended by the source.

And in the past, Dish has occasionally added a channel or two, without increasing the bill. Been a long time, not sure we'll see that again.
But to keep METV and other channels, Dish would have to pay so much that our bills would rise, maybe more than we'd be willing to pay.

Thanks. It was answered a week ago.
Sorry to put in my two cents. I thought the background would be useful. I guess not.
I am sure Weigel is paid, but to raise the fee for re-run diginets? The shows they run for the most part are available elsewhere. Either on another service or on DVD. As much as I like METV, Antenna TV, etc, we are not talking about first run material here. I was hoping that Dish would in time carry all of the Weigel channels, but I really doubt that now. Interesting that streaming services that are inexpensive like Frndly TV carry 5 of of the Weigel channels, soon to be six. They will be adding Movies! But not METV+ as yet.
Add to that Weigel has added a ton of translators and Class A stations carrying their 7 networks too.
