I now get MeTV on DIRECTV out of Atlanta! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I thought this would never happen!!

I was flipping through the channels this morning and realized that my H&I (Heroes & Icons) channel had been replaced by MeTV!

I'm so excited! Now, DIRECTV, please bring on Antenna TV and Laff!

Here's a link to the info from MeTV's site about it coming to Directv and Dish in Atlanta: http://metv.com/atlanta-tune-in-updates

Yay!

Lucky for me I get Antenna, MeTV and Laff via OTA antenna. But I know you've been wanting Me on DirecTV for a long time!

Still seems so unreal that I actually have MeTV!!

Can't wait for season 5 of "The Beverly Hillbillies" to start so I can record them.

Sunday Funnies are going to be a blast! Can't wait to stay up late watching it!

So thankful to have this channel.

After doing some research, the people who own H&I offered it to Directv for free but they refused it. Instead, they just replaced it with MeTV. I wish they would've kept H&I in addition to MeTV but I'd rather have MeTV any day over H&I.

This was from the press release:

For all of you that have come to love Heroes & Icons, the network has moved to our channel 32.2 over the air, and will continue to be carried by all major cable providers in April. We have offered the satellite companies (DirecTV and Dish) the signal for free but they have declined to carry it. Fortunately, you can find such wonderful programming through most any cable TV provider or over the air.

Wasn't "Green Acres" supposed to be coming to MeTV this year?

I just hope they don't change their mind and take MeTV away and replace it with something else.

My brother lives about 5 miles from me and he has Dish and gets Laff. I wonder why Directv doesn't offer it. If Dish has it in my area, I know it's available if Directv wanted it.

Green Acres is still airing on Antenna TV's schedule, they recently gave it a St. Patrick's day marathon.

I wish I could get Antenna TV!

I NEVER in a million years thought MeTV would come to Directv so there's always hope that Antenna TV will also come!

BigManMike · 03-30-2017, 06:47 PM

Green Acres also airs on Light. I wish I could get that channel. I'm just glad it's leaving Antenna and going to Me so it won't have any more credit crunching.

As long as a station there puts it on a primary channel. That's the only reason you now have Me-TV on DirecTV. Because it moved from WSB 2.2 to WGTA 32.1.

Congratulations!! That's awesome. Bonus: They are showing the first season of Mama's Family now.
