Tuned in to GetTV on the HD antenna last night, then clicked back over to DirectTV and Voile, GetTV is now on DirtecTV, channel 83. It wasn't there a few weeks ago.

Quality is not that good, the HD Antenna is vastly better.

Pahonu,
GetTV runs Magnum PI from 6 to 8 PM and at 10 PM.
Rockford Files 8 PM to 10 PM.
I have no knowledge of how streaming channels run their shop but apparently if they don't sell all the 18 minutes or so allotted for commercial time, they just run a stationary logo for 5 minutes
or whatever, during the allotted hour for a Rockford Files. To make sure a given episode starts and stops on the hour, to keep the scheduling orderly.
Since you can't apparently DVR a streaming channels content, you have to sit thru all the ads and the business with the stationary logo.
I kept my VCR/DVD player in the den, so I just tape the episodes and zap thru the ads, so tech from the 80's trumps today's cutting edge streaming.
Sometimes its good to be a Luddite.

Well I mean I've seen "Deliverance" haven't I, so I ran."
