KJWP MeTV

[BillMurray1]

With WFMZ dropping MeTV as of 2/28 wil FiOS be picking up KJWP-2? I'd hat to lose MeTV.

[BillW3]

I also would like KJWP.  It appears that Comcast picked up that channel yesterday in the Philly region and it is also on DirecTv and Dish.  WFMZ's 69.3 subchannel which you carry on channel 460 will not be MeTV after today.  KJWP on channels 2 & 502?

I sent a Tweet to @MeTVNetwork.

Beginning on 3/14, MeTV will be available on FiOS Channel 2 / 502HD

And it will be upconverted to 720P from what I understand on the HD channel.

[BillMurray1]

Thanks! It'll suck to have to wait, but at least we're no losing it.

[BillW3]

Does anyone have KJWP on channels 2 or 502? I don't.  I thought today was the day Verizon was adding MeTV.  Comcast added it on March 1st.

I checked and I still do not have 2 or 502 trying to get answers but no luck any one know when it is going to start or added to Verizon Fios?

[BillMurray1]

Just got this response on twitter from MeTV:

"We just got word from Verizon that Me-TV will be on FIOS between 3/17 and 3/20. Sorry for the delay - stay tuned!"

Thanks!

Thanks!   I can't wait.  Life without "F Troop" is boring.  I've GOT to have MeTV.

[BillMurray1]

I hear ya. What drives me nuts is that it went off halfway through a Perry Mason episode and the week after part 1 of a two part Wonder Woman episode. 🙂

Thanks God for the internet...

[mbuseck]

Thanks Ill keep my eyes peeled

[FirstStateMark]

Nothing new yet. I wonder if you have to reboot the set top box to pick up a new menu? Still no channel 2 or 502.

According to the MeTV web page, Verizon FiOS is due on March 20th.

I sent a Twitter request to the person who gave me this info. I'll get back when I hear something.

Actually, the MeTV website now has a March 20th date.

Seee the end of the first paragraph.

MeTV KJWP did not show up on my guide by 9 AM today, so just for the heck of it, I forced a reboot to the box and and it showed up in the guide.

Note: I only have it on Ch. 502, not Channel 2, but the picture looks really good. Nice SD/HD feed.

[BillW3]

KJWP is only showing up with the HD feed on 502. Verizon, will the SD feed be showing up on channel 2 anytime soon? Why could Comcast, DirecTv and Dish start carrying KJWP on 2/28 and you guys 21 days later?

[FirstStateMark]

Thanks for the tip.  I rebooted my STB and picked up channel 502.  Channel 2 not showing up in the guide yet. At least I can get MeTV.  woohoo!

[BillW3]

Just chatted with VZ. SD feed on 3/26.

[JFD754]

I don't have HD! You would think the SD and HD feeds would both be available on the same day. Doesn't make sense to me being a novice on programming. Maybe someone could explain why KJWP SD won't be available until 3/26?

[BillW3]

KJWP's SD still does not appear on channel 2. It has been delayed 3 times now. How does VZ just have the HD feed? Who down converts the broadcast signals to SD? How was Comcast able to have both the SD and HD feeds on the air on Feb. 28th and VZ cannot?
