I'm getting KUIL for the first time in days. Signal quality is fluctuating wildly between 25-39% on my Fortec Star Mercury II here just west of Savannah, GA but the picture is steady.
Yeah, that's KUIL. They switched over to THE U awhile back. Seems to have something to do with Lamar University but haven't noticed any attempt to make me smarter with edjamacational programming. I actually like them better now but will miss those Cowboy games this fall. I'm tuned there now watching Monk and the quality is 73%.Is this Kuil-TV or is the channel replaced with another station? Currently the emblem at bottom of screen is "The U".
A couple days ago it came up in quality just above pixelation and was Kuil-TV at 66% quality I reconized the programming, then the transponder went completely dead. Then I noticed the signal quality jumped to 95% on the Coolsat 5000, but the channel ident on the lower right of the screen now shows up as "The-U".
KUIL-LP is a low-powered independent television station, broadcasting on analog channel 64 and digital channel 36 (K36ID-D) for the Beaumont / Port Arthur, Texas area. KUIL is also available nationwide as a free to air broadcast, via satellite on AMC 4 (101º W).
KUIL-LP is owned by National Communications, who also owns FOX affiliate KVHP in Lake Charles, Louisiana. Prior to 2003, KVHP served Beaumont and Port Arthur, in addition to Lake Charles. In 2003, KVHP established KUIL-LP, as a way to provide local programming just for that region, plus alternate coverage of sports that are more relevant to the Beaumont market (such as Houston Texans and Dallas Cowboys football).
When KUIL signed on, it had a secondary affiliation with UPN. When UPN and The WB merged into The CW, KFDM added the CW to its digital subcarrier channel. KUIL reverted back to just simply being a Fox affiliate.
In November 2007, KUIL signed on its digital signal on channel 36 (K36ID-D), one of several low-powered stations to have both analog and digital signals. ([1])
On October 24, 2008, it was announced that then-NBC affiliate KBTV-TV would become a Fox affiliate on January 1, 2009[1], indicating that KUIL lost the affiliation at that time. Despite early reports of KUIL pursuing the NBC affiliation,[2] competing station KBMT would broadcast NBC programming on a digital subchannel.[3] As a result, after the Fox affiliation ceased, KUIL became an independent station, and began to add some local programming, some of which would be produced by Lamar University.[4] KUIL's last program as a Fox affiliate was New Year's Eve Live with Spike Feresten and Mark Thompson; that program ended at 12:30AM CT.[5] The station adopted The U as its identity, using the same moniker and logo as unrelated station WCIU-TV in Chicago.
I think you need a 4DTV receiver to get those, and probably a subscription by now.On LyngSat they are listing WAGA Fox, WGLC CBS and WSB ABC on Galaxy 3c transponder 7.

Thanks guys, saved me from an afternoon of messing with the portable 3ft Pansat dish with no result. Might try G16 later but with that 3ft dish I'm not expecting much.You do.
Yeah that was what I was thinking but no money in the budget for any more dishes, anything else for that matter. VISA has a hitman after me! I've been making Ms. Bubba start the car lately.To me, it seems that you need a 1.2 meter, about 48", Dish for decent C Band reception.
