daria back on College TV network (soon to be renaimed mtvU).....

Did anyone here catch any of the fall runs of Daria on MTV's College TV? My understanding is that MTV is about to relaunch the network as mtvU (you can guess what that stands for).

It's available at a limited number of campuses across the country. If Daria is still on the relaunched channel, I'd really like to see if anyone can come up w/some technical info as to how it might be received at home.

Apparently a website will be available at http://www.mtvu.com , but it's not up yet.

I understand it's on a satellite called AMC-3. I've got a good understanding of the satellite industry, but can't find out any of the transponder info from my normal sources. Anyone know anybody at technical ops at Viacom?

The schedule calls for Daria to run at 11:00 and 11:30 PM on January 26. I can only assume the episodes will not be "Nogginized".

(Hackneyed joke time.) Music TeleVision University, which I guess means they won't play anything university-related to go with not playing music.

The specific transponder it's on? No idea, sorry. However, I think it's going to be Ku-band, so C-Band big dishers are out of luck. Apparently MTV has a multi-year deal for Ku-band service on AMC-3: http://quickstart.clari.net/qs_se/webnews/wed/bn/Bnj-ses-americom.RkIh_DSB. html

But they may still be noticeably re-MTV-ized. Which still would be a lot better.
