Antenna TV and ME-TV - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

DJM77 · 11-07-2012, 03:44 PM

I've been reading a lot about these two channels on this site. I'll have to admit I'm a bit jealous. They sound like great channels, but I don't get either one. I have a subscription with DISH Network. Am I alone here? Is there anyone else who doesn't get Antenna-TV or ME-TV?

I get both channels and they are both awesome.

I also get both channels,though it took awhile to get Me-TV here. --From what I've been reading on this forum,there are some people that get both channels,others that get only one of them,and some people still do not get either.--It is rediculous that 2 of the best channels on TV now are not available all over the country yet. Although you probably know this,in the meantime(depending on where you reside of course) you can try using an antenna to see if you can pick up those channels.

Also, for people that live in more rural type areas,or any area for that matter it is beyond me why there is not some type of satellite,or somthing similair one can buy for a reaonable price so they can view these 2 FREE channels.

It's great for those of us who do not have cable (yes, there are those of us who have never had cable!!).

Neither channel is available in Canada because they refuse to go there --- and that to me is an absolute disgrace!

I agree!!!

CulturePeak95 · 11-07-2012, 09:36 PM

I totally agree w/ Cat79. 24 hrs a day 7 days a week there's always something on. It might not be my favorite show but it beats whatever is on the other 2,000 channels I get.

Netflix on demand has all of The Dick Van Dyke Show & Miami Vice now.

I like both channels but I give a slight edge to Antenna TV because ME-TV has paid programming on its channel. ME-TV do have good shows and I really liked there tribute to Andy Griffith. Antenna TV has more shows that I watch. Father Knows Best, Bachelor Father, Leave It To Beaver, All in the Family, Soap, Benson and sometimes Maude.

The national Me-TV network doesn't air paid programming. That's your affiliate adding it, like my Antenna TV affiliate preempting the lineup for Cubs and White Sox games.

Yeah, the Cleveland affiliate pre-empted the lineup once last month for the Ohio Senate debate.

THIS channel is also excellent. Today it had Pal Joey w/ Kim Novak (one the hottest chicks ever!) & some little greaseball singer whose name escapes me at the moment.

Yes, I also get THIS. It mainly shows movies and old reruns of Soul Train.

spunkygirl · 11-11-2012, 04:02 PM

I get ME-TV, wish I had Antenna-TV. I loooooooooooooooove ME-TV so much

CulturePeak95 · 11-11-2012, 04:50 PM

Antenna, Me & This are easily my favorite channels. TCM occaisionally has some 60's comedies that are ok, AMC has lost all credibility IMO. Besides < that 99% of the rest of my 1,000 (joke) channels suck. I swear they will put absolutely anybody on tv these days for the most assinine reason. Including myself (I turned down Glass House & Redneck Island). Both shows sucked & the fact tv has sunken to out of the blue calling joe schmoes & repeatedly asking them to go some crap reality show proves this.
