BlinkoTV coverage of MSNBC, in case you were wondering:
The following was a reply to my inquiry as to why the coverage of MSNBC on www.BlinkoTV was so sporadic. This very nice explanation was sent to me by the staff. The most important part of their reply is as follows:

Thank you for your inquiry. MSNBC is a demo channel that we play on our website to show the Video Quality our software, BlinkoTV, can offer. We don't guarantee MSNBC, CNN, FOX news or any other channel to be live24/7, as they are all simple DEMO channels played to show the great features of our software, BlinkoTV! My recommendation is to build your own TV channels and create a TV station with the content you want. It's very easy to make this real with BlinkoTV! And as you can see, it can become very popular, very fast. We are here to offer you complete assistance and support, so please contact us anytime. Alternatively, we can call you at a convenient time and hour when you can be reached.
I cannot get MSNBC through Comcast and have (sometimes) enjoyed watching thru this site. The site www.channelsurfing.com has a banner telling us to watch MSNBC on BlinkoTV. I think they should get together and tell us what they are really doing. Even if the programming on MSNBC is only at specific hours, I certainly would not bother to rearrange my room so that I could sit on a comfortable TV for KO and Rachel. Two hours on a desk chair is no fun, been through that all day.I don't mind doing the rearranging but if it is not being broadcast, why bother.

I have no interest in creating my own channels. This approach may work for some but I only want to access these 2 programs.

I guess it is really hit-or-miss.
Good luck.

1. I get it. They're trying to get people to create their own content.
Of course, they don't realize how much we enjoy getting their MSNBC coverage.

The only way I could "build my own TV channels and create a TV station with the content you want" is if I had enough money to woo Keith away from MSNBC. Then I could create The Keith Channel. All Day. All Night. All Keith.

However, I'm a little short of the money. Therefore, I must have my MSNBC.

Fortunately, it's back on Blinko tonight! Yea!!!! :applause:
