This is listed on Zap2it as "Senior TV Apostolic Christian Home." In Peoria, IL. This is most likely this senior facility on the northeast side of Peoria:

Apostolic Christian Home – Peoria, IL – SeniorHousingNet.com

Apostolic Christian Home - Retirement facility located at 7023 NE Skyline Dr, Peoria, IL, 61614, seniorhousingnet.com

Only 20 channels, and only 1 sports channel. No CW on this lineup (which is WEEK-25.3), or netlets. WAOE is still carried even though it's gone all-infomercials and is no longer a MyNet afilliate:

Here's their lineup:

3-WEEK 25.2 (ABC)
4-WEEK 25.1 (NBC)
5-WMBD 31.1 (CBS)
6-WYZZ 43.1 (Fox)
7-WTVP 47.1 (PBS)
8-WAOE 59.1 (formerly My, now an infomercial wasteland)
15-Hallmark
16-History
17-Discovery
18-Freeform
19-Animal Planet
20-HGTV
21-Food Network
22-Newsnation (I'm surprised they didn't put this on unused cable channel 9, especially during the WGN/WGN America years)
23-TCM
24-Weather Channel
25-NBC Sports Chicago (no longer the home of the Cubs)
26-Fox News Channel
27-TBN
28-CNN

The ESPNs, kids channels (in case the kids are visiting Grandma and Grandpa), Marquee Network (for the Cubs fans) and Bally Sports Midwest (the Cardinals station) are also notably absent. Plus a lot of traditional cable channels that might have had shows of interest to older audiences (e.g., Lifetime).

20 channel cable lineups are still like something out of the mid to late 80s.

The City of Waller network is the latest example of the investment Comcast is making to bring more high-speed internet access and services to businesses and households in Waller County. Comcast is also investing more than $4M to build a network that will serve thousands of residents in Prairie View; it is slated to complete construction by the end of the year.

Any Slingboxes still out there are about to get bricked.

Dish Network this week emailed reminders to users of Sling Media’s Slingbox — the once-controversial devices that “place-shift” pay-TV services by streaming live TV over the internet — that the servers that power Slingboxes will be permanently taken offline on Nov. 9, 2022.

The Slingbox, which never achieved mass adoption, came out before the ascendancy of video-streaming powerhouses like Netflix and YouTube. But some of the technologies developed by Sling Media have since become widely adopted by the industry.
