I don't get it, but I'll recommend it to DirecTV.

I discovered it a couple of weeks ago. It is a broadcast channel, but isn't on the local cable, at least not that I have found. Web site: http://comettv.com/ You can view the schedule on the site.

David.

Thanks, David. I'm particularly interested in Cult Classics Theater.

It seems that they are also showing fantasy.

And I LOVE the Robby-like robot on the site!

Do they use it on screen?

According to their site I should get it on KOMO 4.2 — whatever that means. (I live so far out that the only TV I get is on DirecTV satellite.)

I get Comet TV and a decent number of Classic TV Re-Run stations.

'Heroes & Icons' (H&I) has all 5 Star Treks. Plus 'The Untouchables', 'Wiseguy', 'Police Story', 'Classic TV shows and films. Great Oldies and Westerns like 'Wanted: Dead or Alive', 'Rawhide', 'Trackdown' and 'Have Gun Will Travel'.

Comet TV has both 'Outer Limits', 'Dead Like Me', 'MST3K', Johnny Socko and his Flying Robot (Live Action 1960s Japanese 'Gigantor'), 'Men Into Space' and Cult, Classic Sci-Fi and Horror.

GetTV: Classic TV shows and films. Great Oldies like 'Airwolf', 'The Equalizer', 'Tour of Duty', 'Hill Street Blues', 'NYPD Blue' and 'Combat!'.

I get COMET on an OTA (over-the-air / antenna) channel, and have been doing so for quite a while. I also receive GET TV, which plays a lot of scifi movies. And ME TV, which has "SciFi Saturday Night", with Svengoolie, Star Trek, BatMan, and Lost in Space.

I enjoy these and many other OTA retro channels so much that I cancelled the cable. Besides, why pay over $100/month for Comcast's low resolution (about 480p) cable service when I can get the same or better for free? And most of the OTA network channels (NBC, ABC, PBS, etc) are 1080p.

I love ME-TV with Svengoolie on Sat nite and their whole SciFi sat nite lineup with Planet of the Apes tv series, Lost in Space, Bottom of the Sea etc.
COMET TV has MST3K and CULT CLASSICS too. Great genre listings!
