MeTV Plus launches May 15

[Adam H. Kerman]

MeTV Plus, intended as a digital subchannel of broadcast stations, will
begin airing May 15. Here in Chicago, Bounce TV gets bounced to a
subchannel of the Ion O&O.

They're trying to beat NewsNation's (formerly WGN America) Rewind TV by
several months.

Initially it will be broadcast within the Weigel station group.

Hey anim! You'll get it. KMOH in Kingman is a Weigel O&O, if you're
close enough to Oatman Mountain.

I don’t get any OTA signal whatsoever. Mom did but she was up on the
mountain and could see the transmission towers and repeaters on the other
side of the city. Unless the Cox offers it it doesn’t exist.
“The plus is pudding!”

Does Cox offer MeTV?

If they do they’ll probably put it on the higher tier like they do most of
the sub channels but I’ll keep you abreast.

Here, too, if you can get it. But since we're not able to pick it up
over the air, they put it on cable.

A decent antenna (bowtie with a reflector bank) and a good booster amplifier are needed, even in good areas. That trash they advertise on TV for indoor reception is worthless.

Why not? If he's within 35 miles of a transmitter, or perhaps up to 75
miles, that's an easy place to receive a signal. No mountains! No tall
buildings!

There are Mexican transmitters that broadcast with far more power than
allowed in the United States (remember Wolfman Jack?), so he can pick up
some of those signals too.

But he’s not in the Gulf of Mexico. He’s on a soundstage. The whole thing
is meaningless weasel words.

Ah. I see your point.

Actually, since the concern of buying an indoor antenna is whether it
can actually receive the signal indoors, they should have proved their
point by demonstrating it in an environment as challenging for radio
signals as a soundstage would be! Out in open water? That's merely
distance.

...not necessarily, it seems. I'm across the SF Bay from the transmitter
(Sutro Tower) for all the local stations. Line-of-sight, no hills in the
way. And I get incredibly erratic signal levels. I finally got fed up
enough to contact one of the stations, and the engineer there surprised
me by noting that he too had very erratic reception, which he attributes
to atmospheric layers over the bay that can refract the signal majorly!
The thing I still don't understand is -- as tonight -- how a strong
signal on the TV's gauge will drop instantaneously to zero, and return
to full strength about a second later, maybe every ten minutes or so

That sounds like something must be interfering with the signal. My
guess might be something man made and government controlled which is
why no one is going to raise a fuss or otherwise try to prevent the
interference from happening. That and the phenomenon is likely quite
localized so not everyone in the Bay area is experiencing the same
issue.

Definitely a strong possibility... Problem is I can't figure out
any *possible* way of establishing that! I've considered weather
radar or something, but there desn't seem to be any regularity, as
radar would have. Fortunately the normal interruption is a second
or less, so it's not usually too annoying.

Trains? When I lived out of town a long time ago, the over the air
signal was interrupted for a few seconds every day. I realized it was
passing trains on a scheduled route and there were communicating with
whomever.

I doubt that it's trains. The nearest tracks are a mile or so away.
I'm not sure they'd have to be "communicating", though. I think you
can get 'destructive interference' from a moving reflective object.
I've sometimes thought that it might be just a car -- or even a plane? --
that hits just the right speed and position for a moment. Dunno.
It seems to happen on all stations, however good the signal.

No, it's atmospeheric, caused by inversion layers moving and shifting.

Atmospheric layers could be subject to a brief hiccup if a wave moved
through the layers and then passed on. Buildings, trees, and even mild
variations in ground elevation (but no tall hills) would tend to retard
passing waves in the air currents. Over water, a passing wave in the
air might ripple through without too much problem, but it might also hit
significant temperature variations, which cause updrafts and downdrafts
(that your tuner had previously adjusted for), potentially causing
momentary shifts in refraction until the wave passes through.

How's reception during local storms or high winds, and do you notice a
difference based on the direction that the storm is moving with respect
to your line of sight with the transmitter?

I could get Wolfman Jack when I was in High School in S. Idaho. Though
the signal would fade in and out.

An antenna here only pick up what's on the translator on a mountain west
of town. Namely a bunch of pbs channels, and only a couple regular ones.
Too many mountains between here and Spokane.

MeTV Plus, intended as a digital subchannel of broadcast stations, will
begin airing May 15. Here in Chicago, Bounce TV gets bounced to a
subchannel of the Ion O&O.
They're trying to beat NewsNation's (formerly WGN America) Rewind TV by
several months.
Initially it will be broadcast within the Weigel station group.
Hey anim! You'll get it. KMOH in Kingman is a Weigel O&O, if you're
close enough to Oatman Mountain.

I don’t get any OTA signal whatsoever. Mom did but she was up on the
mountain and could see the transmission towers and repeaters on the other
side of the city. Unless the Cox offers it it doesn’t exist.

A decent antenna (bowtie with a reflector bank) and a good booster
amplifier are needed, even in good areas. That trash they advertise on
TV for indoor reception is worthless.

That's what I thought of earlier today when I read your post asking why
there are penalties for blatant false advertising. That guy saying “if we
are in the Gulf of Mexico picking up this great signal
“ And you know
he's not.

He could if he were about 30 miles from the shore...

MeTV Plus, intended as a digital subchannel of broadcast stations, will
begin airing May 15. Here in Chicago, Bounce TV gets bounced to a
subchannel of the Ion O&O.

That's nice.
What is it?
