I remember getting the audio from MTV on my radio at a low frequency. I never understand that. I assumed a cable box outside our home had to be resonating the signal somehow. Only last a couple weeks, I think. I think I could also get CBS too.
New HD is here

I lived in Reseda from 1962 until 1998 and remember seeing lots of TV and movie people. I worked at Litton Data Systems in Van Nuys the whole time. Left California and moved to the Twin Cities, MN in 98 and now live in West Fargo about 50 miles from where I was born and grew up.
Saw Chad Everett once at an airport I was passing through to catch another plane. Didn't talk to him, but from about 20 feet away, I could tell it was him. Met Buck Owens and the Buckaroos back in the early 70's. Those are the only names I can drop. 
Well I'll get my two cents in. I met the original Bozo the clown!

Used to work in radio and my partner and I interviewed a lot of celebs. George Burns, Bob Hope, Ray Bolger, etc. It was a lot of fun. Visited Chad Everett at his ranch once. A nice guy. I have been looking for one of his movies from the 60s, Johnny Tiger. Hard to find. Saw it at a theater I think in 1966.
I can’t vouch for the vendor but here ya go:
Johnny Tiger (1966) DVD
Johnny Tiger (1966) Director: Paul Wendkos Writers: Thomas W. Blackburn, Paul Crabtree Stars: Robert Taylor, Geraldine Brooks, Chad Everett

Just looked him up on imdb, so didn't know he'd done much in films. Most of career was on tv shows and tv movies.
Yeah, we get MeTV local in HD, both via LIL satellite and OTA. Some of the shows look GREAT. They are SD, but the PQ is brilliant and the color great. MeTV has manged to get good quality, likely digital, copies to air. Several shows look almost as good as HD. Of course, the commercials are HD, along with cutaways for Svenghoolie and that new show about collections hosted by the very attractive rich girl character from Fact of Life, that is in proper HD, too. BTW, she still looks GREAT! Whoever married her got darn LUCKY!

That must be a pirated copy. Many of these companies never send the product, just a rip off, or if you do get it, the pq is poor. Years ago I bought some material, I was lucky to get it, some some of the discs never loaded. Johnny Tiger is on You Tube, but again the pq is horrible. Someone told me that TCM ran it years ago, but I never saw it. Maybe they will repeat it in time.
Actually, no.... There was a Reseda Freeway on the early books but that would have been going down Reseda Bl. a mile and a half from my house. That never happened. I remember when there were no freeways at all in the SanFernando Valley. The closest was the end of the Hollywood freeway in Studio City. Then they built the Ventura Freeway that went from the Hollywood and ended at Tampa Ave in Tarzana. They opened that stretch in 1960 just as I got my first driver's license. Later they continued that north and it is almost all freeway now all the way to my present home in Rohnert Park and beyond.

Well we need TV land in HD before any cowboy or ride channels! TV land is showing LOTS of programs that WERE in HD when on original channels and should be on TVLand as well.Not sure what you mean by half of a day. It has been almost a year.
DISH LAUNCHES RIDE TV IN HD
The nation’s leading programmer for equestrian content and bull riding, RIDE TV, will now be available to its viewers in high definition on DISH.www.ridetv.com
Luckily I get TV Land in HD with my other provider, Spectrum, with its TV Choice streaming package.
Sent from my iPhone using SatelliteGuys
Like I said earlier, TV Land HD is available streaming:
In a recent uplink report, Dish started testing a collapsible channel (290) in the guide for streaming channels on Hopper and Wally receivers. So, when Dish finally rolls that out to the public, maybe all of those streaming channels that currently require dishanywhere will actually become available through the satellite receivers.
New Uplinks / Mappings – Channels Available
290 STRMS added to 119° TP 7 (Subchannel EPG Hidden) AVAILABLE (Limited)
290 STRMS added to 72.7° TP 5 (Subchannel EPG Hidden) AVAILABLE (Limited)
Of course, in the case of TV Land, Dish may end up losing that channel entirely, due to the upcoming Viacom dispute.
I agree, and so does Dish. That is why they reached truces with all of the local channel owners across the country, that had been in dispute before the crisis. However, that principle has not stopped Dish from preparing for a Viacom dispute anyway, just in case Viacom decides to pull their channels: Viacom/Dish Dispute Forthcoming?
I think that’s how Viacom sees it.
I think Dish sees it as being put over a barrel and they don’t like that. Especially since nothing on Viacom is “compelling.”
I doubt any programming provider would like to the label non-essential these days.
