Is DW TV (Deutsche Welle TV) gone from FTA?

[apsinkus]

I was looking on the list of channels and looked like DW TV is no longer being broadcast over FTA to US. Is that the case?

Which satellite is it on KU?

It looks like the channel is only a subscription channel now: DW-TV Subscription in the USA

DW TV is still FTA on AMC 1 and IS9 Cband.

So basicly I would have to buy Ku/C setup instead of just KU?

I found it couple of days back, I think it comes out as DW-US now, its still on c-band fta.

 

[photoman76]

Yes, you would need a Cband dish.

Looks like no DW for me than, since WAF of a 6' is below zero.

you can get it with a 4 footer! 46 to 53Q on AMC1 for me.

I THINK its on one of the NYN horse racing channels on AMC 5 Ku sometimes too, so you might want to check there.

how stable is the picture? DWTV is 7/8 FEC so you need a strong signal to keep it locked

Good news and bad news...

Bad news is that the Q has dropped down to 26 when I checked this morning, which is not viewable. I hope its not permenant. I know the ION mux was viewable before and haven't been able to get it since summer.

Ice....at the normal SQ I get, DW has no break ups at all! Since the ION mux dropped, this mux is the only one that comes in 100% (i've even pick up up when I'm on AMC4). I watch DW every now and then and it was perfectly fine last week.

46-53 Q has been enough for a stable pic on the fox muxes on G11C and I believe those are 7/8 too

It is. They show DW-TV's English Language show "The Journal" at some times: NYN Block Schedule

Just look for "The Journal" for times they show it

On Sunday, Jan 20. I watched DW-TV On NYN on AMC5 KU. I noticed that they give DW-TV periodically though.
