TL. Can you receive Bay Area - MeTV - KBCW (Over the air) 44.3? 3-13-2023 at 2:49 PM - PDT Admiral, 44.1/28 is NOT offered/broadcast in my part of the East Bay. 68.2 and/or 68.4, (MeTV and MeTV+) IS broadcast from Mt. Allison in Novato, 27.6 Miles from me. With the 'appropriate' OUTDOOR/Roof Mounted Antenna, I WOULD be able to EASILY pick up MeTV. HOWEVER; with being in an HOA, (A STRICT ONE), I AM NOT allowed to mount a VISIBLE Outdoor Antenna on the roof of the house! Due to the fact that I am QUITE limited to an INDOOR Amplified Digital OTA Antenna, I am, therefore, limited to the available channels that can be picked up. The current Indoor Amplified Digital OTA Antenna I have purchased ONLY picks up 18 Local Channels; SEVERAL are immediate repeats of the Locals administered by DISH Network over the Satellite DISH Antenna. (Installed at the back of the house, at the garage, North wall, facing Southwest to pick up Satellites 110, 119, & 129.) Due to the DISH Network Satellite Dish Antenna NOT being visible to the street, the HOA CANNOT stop us from installing the Satellite Dish there. HOWEVER; this location IS NOT conducive to a roof mounted OTA Antenna. A roof mounted OTA Antenna WOULD need to be mounted either at the East side of the home, or the West side of the home. The East side of the home would be the garage, and would ONLY be one story high - MAYBE 25'-30', BUT is blocked by neighbors' trees AND the surrounding, aforementioned, hills. Therefore, the ONLY productive place to install an outdoor OTA Antenna would be the West side of the home, on the second story roof, about 40' above ground, BUT the neighbor to our West has HUGE Redwoods that would block the Westward view. AND, again, the surrounding hills. Plus, again, the limitations of our HOA that prevent us from having an outdoor OTA Antenna VISIBLE by the street; which the East wall and West wall WOULD be. So, as I'm finding out, the Indoor, Amplified, OTA Antenna is NOT powerful enough to pick up ALL the available OTA TV Broadcasts in my area. As mentioned in my last Post, I'm going to have to contact DISH Network to see if they can add 68.2 and/or 68.4 to my DISH Network's Locals' lineup. THIS MAY be doable as they already provide us 68.00 - KTLN, Heroes and Icons, (H&I), as a Local Channel. Outside of my area of CA, I'm told that Heroes and Icons, (H&I), via DISH Network is Channel 293. (My brother, in IL, receives Channel 293 - H&I via DISH Network.) I WAS receiving Channel 247 - MeTV, (National MeTV), via DISH; UNTIL Weigel Broadcasting CEASED doing business with DISH in December! (My brother WAS receiving, (locally), MeTV on Channel 20, (the IL Local Version of the Nationwide Channel via DISH Network), UNTIL the contract dispute with Weigel started in December, and THEN started immediately receiving Local Channel 23 - MeTV via DISH Network.) I hope these details help explain my situation, and my, now, ONLY hope is to contact DISH and see if they can 'Flip a switch' and turn on KTLN - 68.2 and/or 68.4, MeTV and/or MeTV+ via Local Channel prospects over the DISH Network's Satellite Antenna.

Is this the end of the "green screen"? Virtual production studios are replacing green screens as world's largest opens in Melbourne. This month, a new kind of film studio was unveiled in Melbourne. Cheers. |

3-22-2023 at 12:06 PM - PDT [DISH Network Update:] So, I FINALLY got through to DISH Network Customer Service! :-O A feat in and of itself, as they were hacked and the hackers, somehow, took down their Call Centers, as well as being able to make changes, or even Login online. The hackers made their move after February 19th, and DISH Agents were on this as of February 27th. ONLY in the last two to two and a half weeks were the phone systems restored to allow incoming calls by customers. HOWEVER, NOT all the Call Centers were in play. So, hold times were OUTRAGEOUS, IF you could even get into the Call Queue. As I said, I FINALLY got through today. DISH has informed me that they are NOT holding out for a solution to the Weigel contract dispute, and that it looks like MeTV WILL NOT be returning to DISH Network on National Channel 247. I asked if they could connect my services up to the Local Broadcast of KTLN, Sub-channel 68.2, and I was informed that they can only give me Local Channels already in the Local Programming that are contracted area by area. So, as KTLN, Sub-Channel 68.2 IS NOT in the Local Broadcast Lineup, I will NOT be getting MeTV at all; UNLESS I subscribe to Frndly Streaming Service for $6.99/Month and put that App on our ROKU Ultra 4K Device. According to the DISH Rep, Frndly WILL give me MeTV via streaming, as well as other Local Channels NOT in the DISH Network Lineup. So, THAT'S THAT! :'-( TL TimeLord04 Have TARDIS, will travel...

The problem is not ME TV that doesn't want to budge but DISH not wanting to meet them half way on negotiation terms. At least AT&T / DIRECTV negotiated with NEWSMAX and they will return to their lineups tomorrow after a month of negotiation. |

Forget rainbows, they're a dime a dozen. Why 'fogbows', ghostly white rainbows, are such a rare treat to spot in Australia. Cheers. |

It was never the same anyway once those young lads Clarkson, Hammond and May were sacked. BBC axes Top Gear series after Freddie Flintoff hurt in accident. Freddie should've stuck to cricket and cooking fish'n'chips. Cheers. |

What to believe. Two headlines today. House prices see biggest annual fall since 2009 Ribble Valley house prices: Average house prices soar by £9,000 |

Both. Until recently Ribble Valley houses were quite cheap compared to the rest of the country, and in contrast house prices in the south east are obscenely high compared to the rest of the country. It doesn't take much of an upwards change (in terms of pounds) in the Ribble Valley for their prices to jump by a huge percentage, while in the south east a similar percentage drop is a huge amount in pounds. (A few years ago I thought about buying a block of about twenty terrace houses in the Ribble valley, financed by selling or renting my place in the midlands.)

A sinkhole said to be stable isn't anymore. Texas Sinkhole Now Over 1,000 Feet Wide as Residents Prepare to Flee. A massive sinkhole in a small Texas town is growing again after being stable for around 15 years, causing locals to fear for their safety. Thankfully I have an awful lot of granite underneath me.

The Easter Bunny must of been doing a bit of burrowing. :-O Family has lucky escape after house collapses in south-west Sydney while they were sleeping. I wouldn't want to be the builder that built that house. Cheers. |
