How to find MeTV 8.2 and My Des Moines 8.3

Trying to find MeTV Des Moines 8.2 and My Des Moines 8.3? It depends on how you get your TV, but keep reading for an option available to everyone for FREE!

Cable

If you've got cable you probably already have MeTV and My Des Moines. Check your listings. The channels aren't always next to KCCI in the lineup so you may have to look a little farther down the list.

Here's where you can find them on several carriers throughout central Iowa:

Satellite

DirectTV and Dish Network do not carry 8.2 or 8.3 on their satellite feeds. Fortunately, you can still get these great channels FREE over the air using an antenna. And you can easily switch between satellite viewing and over the air channels using the input or source command on your television set. Check your television's manual for details, most sets refer to it as antenna or TV.

Antenna

Did someone say FREE? You can get both great channels over the air using a simple antenna. Any television made after 2007 is required to have a digital tuner it (which is also most flat panel TVs). So even if you're getting cable or satellite you already have the ability to get free over the air signals. Just connect an antenna to your TV and scan for channels.
