Antenna TV

Now see a new channel when I plug the cable direct to the TV.  Channel 122-13.  Can't quite figure out what channel it is.  There's a KHNL logo on the bottom left and it's playing an old movie with James Coburn.  OK, now I saw a brief blurb as it cut to commercial.  It's Antenna TV.  Apparently available only if you plug in the cable directly into the TV.  Don't see it on my cable box.  And what's playing doesn't match this schedule.  I guess I'll keep watching it to see what happens after the movie.  Maybe KHNL is using it as a partial feed.

Saw the credits at the end.  The name of the movie was Duffy.  And now they're playing Valley of the Head Hunters starring Johnny Weismuller.  Looking like they're using the Eastern Time Zone schedule.  And the movie now is supposed to be Jungle Jim according to the schedule.  Looking it up Valley of the Head Hunters was a series of movies in which Weismuller played Jungle Jim.

OK, did a google search.  "Statewide, on or about May 16, 2012, Antenna TV (KHNL Multi-cast) will be added to digital Ch. 541, QAM Ch. 122.1" [actually it's on 122.13]

And more..

Statewide, on or about June 7, 2012, ESPNews Ch. 23 will be removed from the analog lineup. ESPNews digital Ch. 225 and HD Ch. 1225 will move from CPST to DVP and will only be viewable with digital equipment such as a digital set-top box.

Don't know what CPST and DVP is.  Cable Programming Services Tier?  And DVP must be the Digital Variety Pak.
