Hollywood made much better television shows 35+ years ago, IMHO, than they do now; what better place to show those old classics than on RTN?

I see that RTN appears on some DirecTV and Dish network satellite channels. Which would mean this signal is sprayed all across the country. Or do they have some mechanism to deny RTN from some satellite subscribers? I'm pretty much a died-in-the-wool OTA TV watcher...
