cozitv on 33" dish possible?

[comfortably_numb]

Yeah, there is quite a difference nowadays, television and internet-wise. Here's what I get for subchannels in the metro Detroit area OTA, just for comparison.

Movies! Bounce Quest PBS Create
Buzzr Laff Justice PBS World
H&I CourtTV CoziTV StartTV
Decades AntennaTV Comet TBD
ThisTV CourtTV Mystery Charge! PBS Kids
MeTV Grit DABL ION

With all of the main new networks included, it is literally an OTA basic cable system.

Too bad these couldn't be mux'ed and put up on Ku-band on one satellite, in the clear.

One of the problems is that they are owned by different groups.

Are you volunteering to fund it? Someone has to pay for it and the US TV model is built around selling advertising (and more recently, carriage contracts). I don't think anyone can begin to imagine how much such a free service might cost (programming costs, the cost of satellite transmission and the overhead to deal with it all).

In the end, what do you end up with?

Serving how many customers?

Doing battle with the NAB and the NCTA?
