Who here with Direct TV gets WWME on their satellite?

On their website it says it's available on Position 23 - Does this mean only as a local station for Chicago area residents or is it across the country?

me tv isnt on directv

i have direct tv and theres not much on it for non current shows

i also looked into getting a free to air sat system, just to get this channel, and of course it isnt avaible there either

but a free to air does ofer feeds for about 50 locals, the problem is you must rotate the dish to get a different channel, so theres no way to set a recorder to get various channels

the best one could do is set the dish on one sat and record from one channel at various times

i have heard that even in areas of chicago that can get it, the station is very low powered and not reliable in its signal

direct tv has signed a deal with the sleuth network to carry that at some point, but no on aor date has been set yet

But I'm curious ...

those in Chicago area with Direct TV that get their locals also from the dish,

is the signal (WWME-TV) any better on satellite as opposed to cable subscribers ?

I get METV, through Comcast digital cable.
But I live in Indiana.

I have noticed our station has problems.
Sometimes compelte shows run with no sound.
Or the picture freezes and sound continues.
At times it flickers.
ONLY that station.

I LOVE the lineup tho- so I record what I can. It has some of the greatest 80's shows-

My boyfriend is in Chicago and it's very rare that we get a good signal. It's basically a sister station to one of the bigger chicago stations and up to now, it doesn't seem like much attention has been paid to it. Hopefully, that will eventually change but I tend to think it won't.
