It's TERRIBLE!! You're now automatically taken to some website called "tvlistings.gracenote.com" over the usual Antenna schedule grid which was so easy to scroll and read.

This is downright ugly and blindingly white. Why change what's not broke?!! :mad:

The Antenna TV was always lousy compared to ME-TV. ME-TV has quizzes, facts, something's you didn't know about a show etc. Antenna TV has nothing.

I used to have ME-TV, then one day I accidentally pressed the "reset" button on my remote and after it did the channel search, ME-TV was gone and I never got it back. I remember the quizzes and fun info on their website and it definitely leagues better than Antenna TV's bare bones website.

But up till this week, they at least had an easy to read and easy on the eyes interactive schedule. But now I don't even want to look at it it's so whitewashed and blinding to look at.

Just go to this link and put in your zip code. You should be able to find your local Antenna station there and see the schedule from there like it was before.

Thank you it worked! It's just like it was on Antenna TV site before they changed to the new format. I bookmarked the page so I can get back to it easily because this one is so much easier to read.

It seems all AnTV did was change the site they use for their schedule from Zap2it to some site called Gracenote.com. I prefer Zap2it format much better.

Again thanks. :)

Yes METV here in Orlando is on an NBC affilliate WESH Channel 2.2. Up till I lost it, I always could play it. Funny thing was I also lost my NBC station as well, (which I didn't care because I never watch NBC anyway).

My guess is I probably need a stronger antenna than my $10 rabbit ears to pull the station in.

I just checked the Antennaweb.org site and it looks like i'm correct. All my stations received have a yellow signal meaning just a small antenna is sufficient, but NBC is the only one on the chart with a "green" signal meaning a "Medium" sized antenna is needed to get the signal.

Looks like I need a bigger antenna than my rabbit ears. Any suggestions?

If you have an old TV from before everything was digital, you might need a convertor box.
