MeTV out in DC March 1 - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Alan Brady's Hair · 02-27-2017, 04:45 PM

Looks like it's been replaced by Sinclair ' s "Charge!" action network on 7.2. The subchannels are crowded in DC, the best spot for METV would probably be to join it's sister channels Movies! and H&I on channel 20, but I don't know if there's room for that.

Looks like Charge! is starting out with movies and infomercials.

I was noticing that too I could't find MeTV or CometTV anywhere after doing the normal scan of digital channels on my HDTV.

I live in Texas and this morning I couldn't find Grit or Bounce. Grit was replaced by Charge and Bounce was replaced by JUCE. I've still got MeTV (thank goodness), but I hope I get the old channels back too because the new ones look boring. Last year, MeTV was missing for about a month.

I just hope this turns out to be wrong.

My station WJAC (Sinclair) has NBC, MeTV, Comet, and GRIT.

That would be unbelievably annoying if I lost MeTV.

Though the local ad guy did a commerical claiming MeTV was the most watched channel in the area and sell your ads on MeTV.

Being a mountainess area with WJAC being the only tower actually in my city instead of being further out, even in other counties, in the market, I can believe the station is the most watched in the city at least.

Though one nice thing about MeTV is even though it's not perfect yet, they do have a LiveStream, "Chicago Only" (unless your phone thinks it's in Chicago at least) right now but they plan to roll it out nationally, so at least that will be backup. It goes up to 720p even though the content doesn't really look any better to me.

I'm happy with my stations locally the way they are, I have the Comet, Charge!, and TBD streams loaded into my Amazon Fire Stick if I want to watch them.

Can you get the Christmas Comet, TBD, and Charge streams on Roku?

I am not sure about Charge! yet but it appears Sinclair has Comet and TBD already up on the Roku.

I can't believe it, one of the very few sub-channels that there are is being taken off and replaced with a channel that's 90% 1/2 hour commercials and 10% extremely lousy movies. What an outrage!! We still don't have Decades either, would love to see that channel. Thank goodness we still get GET & Antenna TV.

What is the web address of the ME TV streaming service? All I found was an old streaming service for ME that was taken down years ago.

You can still watch ME/TV in the DC area on the Baltimore station which is 11.2. I don't get 5.3.

We want MeTV in the Springfield/Holyoke, Massachusetts area on Comcast/Charter Cable TV.
