I've also found the following two TV listings websites to be the best and most customizable to replace cable's program guide offerings. Be sure to sign up for a free account to personalize the channels you want in your guide.
Zap2it (Wikipedia article); and
TitanTV, which may be the most usable with a Personal Video Recorder like a PC-compatible TV tuner like Hauppage with its own software.
Also be sure to check the extent your HDTV's implement the required Electronic Program Guide, which comes across more fully over-the-air than on cable's no-box analog NTSC and digital QAM offerings. Try the Display and other buttons on your HDTV's controls, and you will likely find a description of the current program on the channel tuned in at that moment.
Here are some helpful links to the detailed schedules, with individual program descriptions, of some of the stations listed above:
ABC
Antenna TV
Bounce TV
CBS
CW
Fox
ION
Me-TV
NBC
This TV
WKNO HD & SD
Some of the network sites have full episodes up for streaming to your PC, tablet, or mobile device! Including PBS!
What? Did you drop basic cable and go to high speed only?
ReplyDeleteI did now.
DeleteNope. I still have Limited Basic; but I got two of those converter boxes on the government cards because I had two analog TV's.
ReplyDeleteI dropped Limited Basic last week. I'll describe my reasoning elsewhere on this blog.
DeleteI bought an antenna, get most of the stations listed above except 5 (NBC) and the 5.2 & 5.3 - any idea why that would be or what I need to do to add those?
ReplyDeleteJeff, I'd try rotating the rabbit ears, increasing their angle to each other, and diddling any knob on the antenna.
ReplyDeleteTry this site to find what you may need in terms of antenna and compass heading for channel 5.

Here's the antenna I'm using, on the second floor of my house in Midtown Memphis, to get the stations listed above:

Either your DTV or converter box should have a signal strength display on a menu somewhere. Tune the channel in off my list, turn the signal strength indicator on, and fiddle with your antenna.
The Christian channels at 42.x were flaky last time I looked, to the point of breaking up. I've dropped some distant ones off the list already as being inconsistently watchable from where I sit. Your mileage may vary.
thanks so much for the info!
ReplyDeleteCh 5.1, 5.2, 5.3 are on a different (VHF) band than the other Memphis channels (UHF).
ReplyDelete13.1 is on the upper end on the VHF band and can be received on a UHF antenna if your in close proximity of the station.
Can you please let me know the name of the movie on channel 3.3 from ?-2:00 this afternoon. I have really enjoyed watching this movie and would love to know the name, it is about a race horse named Casey's Shadow. Thanks Krissy
ReplyDeleteAnswering Krissy on a break from painting my fence. The movie's name is "Casey's Shadow," and you can stream it on Netflix or order the DVD: http://movies.netflix.com/WiMovie/Casey_s_Shadow/60030009?trkid=2361637
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Wintermute, I will be saving it on my Instant Que for my kids to watch! Have a great Day ALL Krissy
ReplyDeleteThere are alot of oldies on 23.2 that are real good but how can you get whats playing day to day.
ReplyDeleteI'd say call the station and ask them to post the program information they're supposed to. Or call Councilman Shea Flinn and ask him why his family isn't doing more in this regard.
ReplyDeleteThank you for posting this list. I am new to Memphis and have had the darnest time trying to get Comcast to my home. They owe me $80 (for missed appointments) and I still don't have service. I purchased an antenna and picked up two wonderful stations but I figured that there must be more. Thank you so much.
