This TV was sold to Tribune and I suspect that it will be encrypted just as Antenna TV is.
Weigel now has a new movie network, in partnership with Fox, called "Movies!" It's on the same satellite as Me-TV and is in the clear, last I heard.

I am NOT happy about this. I really, really like that channel but the only way I can get it is via C-band.
Even if I could pick it up via OTA, they are notorious for compressing the cr*p out of the signal.
KBMT here retransmits MeTV OTA and it's horrible. The PQ is so poor that it's borderline unwatchable.
Not to mention they inject the really annoying local commercials which are like Z grade.
Local commercials make me want to claw my eyes out with white hot spoons and pour molten lead into my ears.
The only way I would ever be able to even potentially pick up KPLC would be to install a very expensive tower which there is no way I could afford.
?I like The Outer Limits, Highway Patrol, Sea Hunt, Mr. Ed, Patty Duke, Green Acres, etc.. For me, there is no other place I can watch these shows and the time frame they come on is well suited to the odd hours I keep.

I can't understand why they have to be such a-holes about scrambling C-band channels. Like really, how many people are left in the US with functional C-band dishes? Not many I would bet.
Well, more and more, FTA continues to be exterminated by capitalist greed.
It won't be long before it's all gone.
The only things I find of any value on FTA now is
1. PBJ (probably gone soon)
2. RTV (ditto)
3. MeTV
4. thisTV (losing this soon)
5. PBS
6. RT (I watch this very little and is available on Dish Network at a much lower bitrate)
I know that COZI is up there but I don't feel like moving the dish over to it, I don't watch it that much, yet. I can get it OTA which amazingly enough, KBMT is retransmitting it in 720p and a high bitrate (twice that of MeTV)
I guess within a year I'll just be taking the dishes down. There's going to be nothing left, for me... It'll make mowing the yard easier...

It was nice while it lasted but there's always a greedy capitalist that has to poop in the punch bowl and ruin it for everyone..
