I feel a little sneaky for what I'm about to show you but I don't care too much because I'm Canadian and this is the only way I can get a free channel like this online without the stupid geo-blocking rules that are always in the way. If you go to KODI or other websites you might be able to get free live streams from channels like Buzzr TV or CNN or CBS or any of the main networks or cable channels, even CHCH at various times. But the digital over-the-air channels that we all seem to love like Antenna and Me are almost impossible to find unless you look very hard and are lucky to find a good source that will work for more than a few days. This week, I found a website that offers some of these channels for free but others you have to pay and sign up for. The site is called Stream Live and it just happens to have a free live stream from DECADES TV that you can watch anytime so here it is just for you from me:

Nothing wrong with this at all! Fort Wayne doesn't have a Decades affiliate, so it would be great if this livestream works. And while we have a Me TV affiliate, Comcast has refused to put them on their system :mad:, so a live stream would be good for them as well.

Those dirty rats! I assumed the video would still work now, but it is not available any more. It keeps saying could not play video, there was a problem loading it. I even turned off my ad blocker for the Decades stream and streamlive site, it still won't work. So much for all the shows I would have watched here. :mad:

I feel the same way. I was incredibly pleased and stunned when this worked a few days ago and I couldn't wait to share it here but someone at the site must have caught on and has blocked it. So now I'll have to try again and see if I can strike gold again somewhere else. Sorry!

When we find something really neat, most of us want to share it with others, but it is probably for the best to just keep it secret.

This is good stuff, thanks Sal. I've been watching streams on Kodi for years now and often wondered why nobody here talks about IPTV, I assumed it was against the rules. There was a free Antenna TV stream that worked on and off for about two years and I didn't dare mention it. In any case it's gone now.

I can't get the Decades address to play in Kodi but there's a help section that mentions a Kodi add on is available:
https://www.streamlive.to/help

Also a channel list here: https://www.streamlive.to/channels
The ones marked premium don't work but the rest are playable on a tablet or phone. Believe it or not there was a non premium link there last night for MeTV, I had it playing but today it's not there. I did grab it's stream URL but it won't play in VLC or Kodi.

I found it!!! Believe it or not, there is a free Me-TV channel on there and it works great for me! (Although I have to warn you that it may not always work. It depends on the time of day, the amount of Internet traffic, and whether the 4 moons of Saturn are crossing Venus at that moment.) But it's here now and here you go:

Thanks Sal! I know of lots of free TV streams but MeTV and Decades are hard to find. I can't believe whoever is running that stream.to site is letting us see them for free, don't they know that the retro channels are what many of us crave? I had both those channels at one time by subscribing to one of the pirate IPTV services until they went under. The retro channels were the only ones I ever watched. HBO? What the heck is that? LOL

Just wanted to point out that with the MeTV stream, people who haven't had MeTV will now be able to watch Svengoolie on Saturdays, who's showing the made-for-TV horror movie "Gargoyles" (1972) tomorrow at 8pm on Me-TV.

This is very sad news for me and anyone else who was enjoying the free streams. I guess I'll have to start over and find other better alternatives that are safer and more trustworthy. I'll stick with KODI for now until something else comes along.

It says no more free but the channel still plays, at least so far.

Also, I would not recommend paying as I know a decent amount about the history of, originally ilive.to, and while they are decent as free, they are in no way a legit service.

I personally would not want to pay for a non-legit service. I guess I could see maybe a prepaid card but even still.

If you watch it at 10 am, you will see "The Donna Reed Show". You'll notice that they are now showing episodes from the last 3 seasons which MeTV never did before. So that's like an added bonus before they go back to the beginning in a couple of weeks.

maybe they seen that they was not getting many people sign up and pay for their service. so they turn the free channels back on.

You are right. Antenna TV does not have a livestream channel and if you go on StreamLive where I found the MeTV and Decades links you will be asked to sign up for its Premium channels.

But I have found another way.......

This free link is from the website IPTV Cat which lists hundreds of channels as part of an IPTV m3u list that you can watch on a VLC player. From the list, look for a green Download button with a + nearby and you can watch Antenna TV from there.

If you have a Roku device, F2VTV is back. It's a Roku private channel and you have to sign in on your Roku account to add it. This channel has live streams of MeTV,Cozi,Decades,GetTV,Laff, Buzzr,Charge,Comet and others. The code to add it to your Roku is 9QDC5JN. Keep in mind these private channels come and go on Roku.

A long time ago I used to get a over the airwaves digital channel called RTV, it was taken off in my area and replaced with Me TV. RTV though did carry some classic TV shows you don't see on Me TV. Does anyone here know if RTV still exists? If so is there a free streaming place for it? I miss that channel, I still watch my recordings of Bachelor Father & Lassie from it every week. Thank goodness DVDs don't ever go off the air.:)

I'm glad you like them so much so I've added a couple more for you. These come from the same link that omg65 provided on the previous page for Retro TV. For a channel that mostly shows public domain content, their website is very impressive. Not only do you have their live feed, there is also a page set up much like Pluto TV where you can see their shows on demand and even make up a Favorites list. You can find these pages here:


Retro TV - Live Feed (https://www.getafteritmedia.com/retro-live-feed)

Thank you for that really neat live stream link to RTV, Retro TV. It was good to see it again, the logo's different now. They were showing a soap, "The Doctors" when I dipped into their stream. I remember this soap existed, but as a kid I never saw it. I did use to watch The Edge of Night, more action in that one.

But their Avalon affiliate is probably putting on the Decades livestream independently without much of a budget.

Update on the Private Roku channel F2VTV. Get TV no longer works and has been unavailable for a few weeks. Decades has improved on the stream quality. They still have the rest of the classic channels and have been adding more. Easily the best private channel out there.
