There's never anything good on! Twenty years later and it is just the same stuff on repeat. I'm just kidding, just felt nostalgic. I too will be enjoying my Sunday with this awesome find.

This is cool, but if you want a bit more control over it(as in you have to find the videos+run software) you can use dizquetv to setup a faux cable provider. I use it to simulate 5 or so of my favorite channels as they were in the late 90s/early 2000s and then other channels that are just mish mashes of various categories(ie movie marathon channel, anime, sitcoms, holiday specials, mtv clone with all my fav music videos, marathon channels for my top shows, etc.) It can be a bit of work to setup and maintain but its been really nice when i want those hits of nostalgia or to show my nieces/nephews how things worked 20 years ago.

toonamiaftermath is a web based one i also made another comment in this thread about a software called dizquetv, when paired with another software like plex, jellyfin, or emby, you can recreate cable channels complete with RNG commercials/bumps and shows. I currently run a nicktoons, cartoon network, adult swim, and toonami clones plus more non clone channels, all run off a computer in my house. I paired mine with plex since thats what i normally use to host my own streaming content and through the plex app I can watch my dizquetv streams on my phone, pc, stream device like a roku or apple tv, basically anywhere plex has an app+internet connection

TROUBLESHOOTING Issue: All I see is static Some users have reported that the site doesn't work within embedded apps such as RedditIsFun Try launching instead from a standard browser (Ex: Chrome, Brave, Firefox, Safari, Edge)

Literally just spent way too long falling down a rabbit hole of nostalgia with the 90s and 2000s TVs. And it's really cool to see just how much culture has changed through the decades when you have everything that was on TV aggregated into one space.

askmeforbunnypics t1_iy14xdq wrote

I remember using this briefly and I got a Scooby Doo video that started part way in and played for like 10 minutes before I got static and it started again. I tried it many other times to the point that I don't think it's a glitch. I think it's intended. Has anyone else been able to just watch one category with the full episodes playing through?

thebudman_420 t1_iy164mh wrote

Can't get to channel 3 or 4 for nes / snes. Simulator sucked because most replaced static with blue back if not a channel.

One thing emulators do wrong. When you add scan lines the lines are drawn after. Post process when the lines should be drawn first then image over top of that. Scan lines in emulation suck and never look right. Best to get out the old crt.

Have a 35 inch one not being used im going to turn into retro gaming tv.

Also if you was sitting at a proper distance you couldn't actually see the scan lines. If you sat so close you could see pixels or scan lines you was too close.

Basically you need 2 programs, a media aggregator like plex, jellyfin, or emby. Then the dizquetv software. The media aggregator hosts the files on either something on your network like a server/nas or your own local pc harddrives into video on demand categories you want(for example ive got reg tv, anime, kids, then the same for movies, and also music libraries, old commercials, etc.). You can also set commercial filler options including down to literally what commercials can play on what channel. Also if you didnt want to watch "cable" you can also access all the content youve added just via your categories in your apps at any time(barring technical issues) at or away from the house netflix style.

From there you feed the content into playlists on dizquetv and start the server app, add the server as a "tuner" in plex and then enjoy. This is obviously really basic level but its mostly time consuming then technically hard. But just to be 100% clear you have to provide all the content, even down to the bumps/commercials(which ive been slowly ripping over time off youtube and other video hosting sites).

https://ibb.co/7pswnT1 Heres a pic of my first 10 or so channels to give you an idea of what a more mature dizquetv collection would look like.

https://www.reddit.com/r/dizquetv https://www.reddit.com/r/plex For more information.

My personal 2 cents closing thoughts, i much prefer this way as i dont need to worry about rights expiring or any stupid show jumping crap like that, lets me mess around with some technical stuff, and cool apps like dizquetv elevate my viewing experience perfectly into exactly what i want, hate a specific commercial? Just dont add it to your commercial pile. The freedom is insane, but like all good things it didnt appear overnight, it did take some work tracking down my fav shows and bumps/commercials. Plus you are usually slightly behind current releases unless you do....things.

Many if not most of the oldest broadcast stations used channel 2 or 3, since they were first (there was no channel 1, VHF 2-13 was all the FCC allowed (and available channels were limited to prevent interference with each other’s signals in a given area) & broadcast stations vied for the lowest numbers.

Just a heads up that this got messed up when I tried on mobile and I’ve now got the audio playing in the bg though I’ve terminated every instance of the site and restarted every related app (Reddit browser, internet, etc) on ios 16. Think I’m going to have to restart my phone to fix it

Heads up, this uses your youtube account. So if you dont want your youtube history to be flooded with every "channel" youve watched, be aware.

Sp o was able to created DizqueTV, able to create channels from my media, but the channel info inside of the Plex LiveTV/DVR section which lets me view the live feeds has me pick a random att channel lineup, instead of the name/graphics of the channels from dizque that I created

**Update** I had missed the step on adding the XML file from DizqueTV when creating the DVR Profile, it is now working beautifully!
