I saw where Court TV is back up and running now. Right now everything is streaming but there is a suggestion to contact your cable carrier to request they carry Court TV. They have sample letters available and an 800# to call to request it. I think we all need to bombard our cable carriers now and hopefully it will be on tv in time for the July trials.
For free COURTV watching, I found another way to get CourtTV and wanted to share in case others may find it helpful.
Most newer TV's now come with a built-in digital converter that converts the "over the airwaves" TV signals from the main networks like NBC, CBS, ABC, etc. Remember back when over the air broadcasting switched to digital format and we needed a converter box if our TV didnt have built in converter. Most new TVs have built in now. Or you can use the small converter box you can get to receive over the air broadcast signal.
That is the signal that you pickup when using regular rabbit ears antennea. In addition to cable or satellite cable which is plugged into the back of the TV, I also have regular rabbit ears antennea that I plug into its antennea input port on back of TV.
Then using the TV's remote (not the cable or satellite box remote), I switch the SOURCE setting over to the Antennea Input. Then I get a bunch of free channels using the over the air signal. The option on your TVs remote will say either SOURCE or INPUT. It will say one of those to switch the input source over to your antennea which you have plugged in back.
I stumbled into seeing CourtTV on one of these other regular over air broadcast channels. What the 3 networks do is they push a signal out for about 2 or 3 other channels on their same network. So like in my area for lets say ABC. I have a 2-1, 2-2, 2-3, etc. channesl all for ABC and what they carry on their other channels is sometimes the weather 24X7, or in this case I found COURTV on one of their other channels.
I cant remember which one of the networks had it on its auxillary channels but I did watch it the other day using my Antennea.
For example, here is where it can be viewed in Milwaukee. So check your own local networks over the air broadcasting and they could show it too for free. It will probably be on one of their extra "auxillary channels" for one of the main networks.
"In Milwaukee, the revived channel will air on WTMJ-TV's Channel 4.5."
