Worship Network - FTA?

[chapelrun]

On Feb 1st ION dropped the Worship Network (One of my favorite channels)

Anyway LyngSat shows it on AMC1 3840 H 26681 - which I assume is also gone because that is the ION location.

Does anyone know if The Worship Network is FTA anywhere?

I know I can still get it here - - - - The Worship Network - - - - - but . . . . .

Worship Network

I wondered where it went also. Cannot get it anymore FTA. Disappointed.

? Maybe we're not talking about the same channel, but I just finished watching the Gaithers. It's on 103.0W AMC1 3840 H 26682 Edit: Sorry, maybe you need the PIDs Vpid 0500 Apid 0501 Ppid 0500

maybe its still up on satellite just that Ion chooses not to carry it

bringing this thread back...scanned 103W and Worship still is there. Still logged as Worship and yesterday they had music on with the "W" in the right bottom corner.

So its still on C-Band....just not OTA

Welcome to SatelliteGuys !!!



A big welcome to SatelliteGuys !!!

Are you asking about Over The Air (OTA) Worship Channel or C-Band?

yep, ION dropped them from their digital multicast platform.

I suppose the "affiliates" Worship still has are getting the signal from DVD or online (and if online, it might look as poor as a lot of the stuff on G19 Ku).

I don't see what I call "notaf"s on their website (notice to affiliates). I just see a note to viewers dated Jan 18th, 2010 concerning ION dropping them from the multicast service. I don't know why ION doesn't just lease them the bandwidth in their signal so Worship can continue to feed their over-the-air affiliates or other stations that would have kept them on a digital multicast channel despite the ION thing.

I was wondering how they still get it as Worship is still on affiliates part time

agreed

I believe their affiliates are fed by fiber optics

More change for Worship : Worship Network

Seems like they could hook up with another provider and locate on 97W? Maybe I not thinking right here but they had to be getting their programming to ION somehow....uplinking...so surely there's another way to do it if they want to. Blind
