Thanks, I’ll have to check and see IF we have that available, we’re rural.

Good luck. Here is their website, not nearly as good as the TV Channel, though. Some of their stuff is on Youtube, as well.

I'm not in the sticks--in fact, I can see the Dallas skyline on most days! Strangely, Grand Prairie is one of the few places in the country (Oak Cliff is another close by) that is still served with fully ANALOGUE telephone service. DSL and other digital services are wired separately, and is only available up to 3 Mbps.

The fibre that serves the town is literally a visual (infrared) representation of a multiplexed analogue waveform. The rest, of course, is DSL and T-carrier traffic. (ISDN can be multiplexed into a T1)

Most places have digital service, and have the line down-converted at the curb for faxes, ADT, &c.


With that being said, I don't think (real) U-Verse (and, the OANN) will be available anytime soon around here.

Recently, SBC rebranded all their digital services as U-Verse, while retaining the underlying infrastructure. While you could technically say that my town has U-Verse, it is still the same 3 Mbps DSL service. With a 768 kbps uplink, I don't think you could get the VOIP phone to work, let alone the IPTV.

A friend of mine, who lives on the south side of town, has U-Verse service brought in from Arlington, as they live less than half a mile from the county line. He even has the wireless transmitter box!


The only reason I even learned about this was through a combination of curiosity, and my drive to find a reasonably-priced Internet service. (I've had a computer for 11 years, but I didn't install Internet service until last November!)

The pay feed of OAN is back on Filmon. It was gone for weeks and repalced with a not available message on the player.
