Choice package and above.

Also Stream has Heroes and Icons and Fox Weather Channel

I realize that not everyone can get OTA TV, but really this is a really bad add. I can get all those channels free and never watch any. It is just 50 year old reruns of long forgotten shows. Most of which are available on other sources.

I would rather see Fox Weather, Pac 12 network, and some of the more diverse news channels they dropped.

The only “diginet” that has any original content is Stadium. Add that.

DTV has had ion for quite some time, you might be thinking of them removing one of the 2 ion Ch’s

For years I have tried to find an alternative way (as a back up) to get Antenna TV & now Rewind. Nexstar has them both and as far as I know, they are only available OTA in most cases. There are a few cable companies that carry the local station. Here, we have both OTA, and that is the only way I can receive them.

 

[KyL416]

Now that the Nexstar contract has been renewed, Philly, Harlingen and Marquette now have their AntennaTV stations in test mode, but ONLY because they pre-empt primetime for MyNetworkTV. Savannah has their CourtTV station in test mode for the same reason.


On the otherhand, 385 H&I's national feed is now in test mode on satellite. Stream/Internet customers already have their streaming feed that replaces any programming that Weigel doesn't have the streaming rights to. If it's anything like the MeTV deal, on satellite it will be blacked out in markets that get it as a LIL channel like Los Angeles (KVME/20), Seattle (KVOS/12), San Francisco (KTLN/68) and Alexandria (KBCA/41).

How long does the test mode take?

When DTV renews channels will they renew it for DTV via Satellite, Via Net, Stream and the DTV APP?

 

[lordodogg]

How long does the test mode take?

Varies, can be as short as a couple days, as long as about 3 weeks

Yes. It's been that way since D* merged with AT&T back in 2015 and D*Now's launch in 2016, contract renewals from those points onward included addition of the channels on D*Now, and continued U-Verse carriage for most channels, with some channels that were only on D* or U-verse getting added to both.

Did H&I come up for renewal is that why it is in test mode?

 

[lordodogg]

I think all of Weigel Broadcasting was renewed several months ago, which got us MeTV on both stream and satellite, and that new agreement is just now going to also get us H&I on satellite (It’s already on stream).

I wonder when FETV's contract is up so its on the DTV APP?

 

[KyL416]

FETV is a pay to play station similar to infomercial channels that pay DIRECTV for satellite carriage. They have carriage as long as the check clears every month or quarter.
