ME TV now available nationwide on Dish

If DirecTV was to do this on DirecTV now that might push me to considering them. Or better yet make these channels available to other OTT services.
 
In Atlanta, Me-TV is on OTA on WGTA/channel 32, and DirecTV carries it.
 
Is H&I available as a national feed on U Verse (like ME TV on Dish) or how does it work? Or does it depend on your location etc. Or can some people not receive it?

When ME-TV is on the .1 channel DirecTV/Dish has to carry it.

Chicago: WWME-CD 23.1

class A/Low powered stations satellite do NOT have to carry. They can carry it if they come to an agreement but it isnt required (if it was a Big 4 net then they most likely are carried)
 
I mainly meant making the national feed of subchannels available to cable, satellite, and OTT systems like DirecTV Now, or possibly even channels on Roku, Fire TV, etc. Comet has their live feed available as a channel on Roku, but I don't know of any others.

Checking several Dish Network receivers, there is no channel 247 nor
Me TV. Perhaps it is blacked out here for some reason......

you need to have AT120 or higher for programming package. Other packages (flex, smart, welcome pack) do not have it listed at all.

What little of Me-TV that WBBJ in Jackson Tennessee carries on 7.3 along with CBS is on Dish I wonder if that blacks it out

there are no blackouts and no substitute programming for Andy Griffith like there can be OTA.
Folks get it even if there is a local that is carried that carries MeTV (because its a -1)

When I had DISH (with DIRECTV as well), we essentially had two feeds of Ion and Univision. The local Ion affiliate and the national affiliate aired the same programming 24/7, but the local Univision affiliate carried local news which wasn't picked up nationally.

with Dish in most cases all they did was remap the national feed into what station your Ion affiliate was in the analog days. So as example in Minneapolis Ion was mapped to 41 (KPXM slot). They may have changed that since the last time I had Dish which was a few years ago.

We have DIRECTV and they do this. Channel 26 is ION here in the Hartford market and on Channel 26 on DIRECTV there is no WHPX New London/Hartford IDs.
 
I happened to dig this thread out and thought if Dish can do this, why can't DirecTV and cable systems? If it weren't for their continual contract disputes I'd consider going back to Dish.
 
Dish has recently changed the credentials for getting the national feed. If MeTV is considered a local (ie: on a -1 of a station) and carried by Dish then you dont get 247. Examples are NY (WJLP), St Louis (KNLC), Philly (KJWP), Seattle (KFFV).
