Interesting. Some of those (or all?) are free on Samsung TVs.

I thought they were part of the subscription packages but theyā€™re not. All these channels are free on Fetch. :open_mouth:

Correct, they are FAST channels. Some are good, some are terrible.

Thereā€™s a whole channel dedicated to Ghost hunting, Iā€™ll be avoiding that one. Ticker TV and the Now music channels look more interesting.

Itā€™s interesting that theyā€™ve added Nature Time. Itā€™s the free version of Love Nature which they already have.

Just cheapens the whole Fetch experience in my opinion, I want premium TV if Iā€™m getting a special box for it, not FAST Channels.

Travel Channel? :joy:

816

These are included extras though.

Haunt TV. Travel channel has a mix of ghosts and true crime and travel docos.

True, though I see them as just advertisements that I have to skip past to get to the premium content I actually pay for.

Nobody is forcing you to watch them. They are way down in the TV Guide anyway so you would really have to search for them in the 200 range. Sometimes when Iā€™m doing something else but would like to have the TV in the background Iā€™ve tuned into Now 80s or Vevo Pop on my Samsung. Itā€™s good to have.

You can hide them so they donā€™t appear in your channel listings. You just include the ones you want in your favourites.

What do ghosts and true crime have anything to do with travel? :joy:

Ask that to any American (in particular) cable channel thatā€™s suffered from channel drift and acronym emptying (of which Travel is partly one, itā€™s branded as ā€œTrvlā€ now and has been in the US for a decade) over the decades. :face_exhaling: Iā€™m sure one would ask what reality series would have to do with ā€œMusic Televisionā€ for instanceā€¦

You could say the same with MTV and music and Fox and news :joy:

I donā€™t mind Ticker News, it has a different take on the world economy than BBC or France 24 or Al- Jazeera

825

Is Ticker News on Fetch though? I donā€™t see it.

826

Yep, channel 175. Launched yesterday.

Thanks. Itā€™s hidden away there alongside the subscription channels.
