Is there a start date for these? 12.3 and 12.7 aren't showing anything.
Why? If you look up the schedule for either of them, it's ALL pure crap.

Re: ThisTV now coming to Ch 12.7

Byron Allen's ThisTV, not the old one with all the old movies and shows. https://thistv.com/printschedule/sched/2024-01-16/ Soon to join my list of blocked channels. That schedule is full of complete TRASH. What happened to it? There used to be movies on it, and stuff worth watching, if barely. NON...

Re: Channel Changes Starting January 1

Out of that list, only 'This Tv' has my slight interest, though I already get it on FTA C-band satellite. It has a few movies worth watching now and again.

Re: WUWB-LD West Branch, Rose City. Is it UP?

Well, I wish one of the other stations in our DMA would pick up the Movies and CatchyComedy channels. Would their cancellation of the licenses nullify their carriage contracts? I believe they held market-wide rights, yet they only covered just a small fraction of the market. I sure hope so...

Did they even cover any of the Tri-Cities?
Not really. I doubt they could easily be received more than possibly a 30 mile radius around the cell tower they were using, which was only about 8~ miles slightly South-West of Rose City, on the edge of M-33.

Re: WUWB-LD West Branch, Rose City. Is it UP?

... I don't know what to think. Will it really ever come back or not? Hi MikeBear, Glad you weren't holding your breath desperately seeking either of the M33 Media LPTV stations. Yesterday (12/5/2023) FCC filings for cancellation of both WUWB-LD West Branch and WURO-LD Roscommon were made. Signed b...

Re: WUWB-LD West Branch, Rose City. Is it UP?

WUWB-LD West Branch, Rose City. Is it UP?

Can anybody confirm that WUWB-LD, rf20 station is up and broadcasting right now, and that they can receive it with a tv antenna?

Re: WNEM ATSC 3.0 signal Blackout

I have a feeling this is going to be fun. X.509/TLS w/CA? I'd expect TVs to have a shorter lifespan, due to advances in TLS encryption over time. Get ready to help your parents/grandparents with firmware updates! (Assuming firmware updates would be delivered via the air - so do broadcasters have to...

Re: WNEM ATSC 3.0 signal Blackout

If it's blacked out on 3.0, contact WNEM or WBSF to see why. He's talking about WNEM's 3.0 signal, and it's "blacked out" because they encrypted it. ONLY a tv set with an ATSC 3.0 tuner can decrypt it at present. Neither the Zapperbox, OR the HDHR 4k tuners can decrypt encrypted 3.0 stations at pre...

It's encrypted again since a few days ago at least. My HDHR can't decode it as of yet either.
