When will MTCO discontinue WTVE?
MTCO is currently reviewing the timeline for discontinuing WTVE.

Why is MTCO discontinuing WTVE?
With recent changes in content distribution, finding your favorite shows, movies, and live channels on WTVE has become confusing. Programmers are moving their content to direct-to-consumer platforms (Peacock, Paramount+, etc.), affecting the WTVE user experience. To address this, MTCO has developed the MTCO digiMAX Stream TV APP to provide a more robust and user-friendly alternative.

watchTVeverywhere provides an up to date FAQ regarding details of the service at their portal via the following link: https://www.wtve.net/learnmore.php.

My TV Displays "NO SIGNAL".

  1. Check to ensure your TV is on the Input HDMI/Component setting that corresponds with your MTCO TV service. You can determine the correct Input by inspecting the physical ports on your TV and identifying which is being used to connect the MTCO set-top box to the TV.
  2. Cycle through the inputs until you reach the one corresponding with your MTCO TV service. You can do this with the Input or Source button on your TV manufacturer’s remote.
  3. If you find the Input is selected correctly and you still see “No Signal,” your next step would be to power cycle the STB (Set-Top Box). This can be achieved by removing the small round black cable plugged into power. Once you have unplugged the power, wait 3 seconds, and plug the cable back into the STB.
*On Smart TVs, the Input or Source option could be located in the TV Menu.

I Have Video; However, I Can’t Change Channels.

Your remote may be out of "STB mode," which stands for "Set Top Box mode" (aka Cable Box mode). This can happen if one of the small buttons at the top of the remote is inadvertently pressed (such as TV, AUD, DVD, or VCR). Press the STB button at the top right corner of your MTCO TV remote. This will shift your remote back into STB mode and should allow you to change channels.

If you can turn on your TV with your MTCO TV remote and pressing the STB button does not resolve the issue, you may need to reprogram your remote. See the "Reprogramming Your MTCO Remote Control" section below or contact us for assistance.

Your remote may be out of "STB mode," which stands for "Set Top Box mode" (aka Cable Box mode). This can happen if one of the small buttons at the top of the remote is inadvertently pressed (such as TV, AUD, DVD, or VCR). Press the STB button at the top right corner of your MTCO TV remote. This will shift your remote back into STB mode and should allow you to navigate the guide.

If you can turn on your TV with your MTCO TV remote and pressing the STB button does not resolve the issue, you may need to reprogram your remote. See the "Reprogramming Your MTCO Remote Control" section below or contact us for assistance.

What is a sun outage?

Viewers may experience brief interruptions in television service due to the sun's energy disrupting the signals from the satellites used to deliver programming. Sun outages occur twice a year: during the last few days of February through the first two weeks of March and during the last few days of September through the first two weeks of October, and usually occur between noon and 5:00 pm, lasting for a few minutes. This is beyond our control, and we thank you for your patience.
