BTW: Where are you located? If you get MeTV on two channels, plus Antenna TV and ThisTV, I'm thinking you are between two cities (if you get your TV reception OTA), or else you have cable.

In my area, 35 miles from Cleveland, I get (on cable) Antenna TV, MeTV, and Retro TV. I should be getting ThisTV as a subchannel of Cleveland's The CW affiliate, but for some reason the cable system here (Time Warner) doesn't carry it. ThisTV formerly was on a subchannel of Cleveland's MyTV affiliate but their contract with the network expired a couple years ago, so the other station picked it up. I think this must have happened in 2011 or so, IIRC.

I live in eastern NC and both the Raleigh and Greenville locals blast city grade signals my way from 2000ft towers, so I get a lot of stuff OTA from 2 different TV markets.

My console does have bit of a vertical problem after it has been on a while. I have new tubes for it and just need to find time to work on it. We have young kids and they keep us very busy!
