I hope we don't have to wait weeks, but most of my wife's CBS shows are in reruns now. OTA is also much better now that 6 went back to RF 6. I hope you are right about the CW coming. Do you know something? Raymie, anything to add to this? I would love to be able to watch the Mets lose the rest of their games in HD.

KTVL was recently added so there must be a deal. No inside information - but Dish does add the CW HD if one of the major four in the DMA pushes hard enough. It is the only non-big four in Freedom's stable that is a full power HD station. Besides 6 uses the CW for extending progaming - news at 10, HD broadcasts when 6 is otherwise programed, etc. So I think there is a chance.

Very interesting guys. Thanks for the info.

If someone gives me a video of a local TV station without any way to identify it whatsoever, I can identify it.

How long do you need?

Still can't get anyone to fix this. WYPX is RF50 but channel 55. It screws up the guide since WYPX is on Dish 50, WNYA is 51, then ION is 55 (yes the PSIP identifies WYPX OTA as ION). Plus we do not get WYPX guide info mapped for the OTA version.

 

[wkomorow]

Now showing EPG for OTA WYPX - the main channel only (not the 3 additional subchannels), though the map-down number is still incorrect 50 instead of 55.

I dont know of any Ion stations that they have EPG info for the subchannels

The "main" channel is usually mapped and in this case, they are mapping off the National feed

weird about the OTA version but I know sometimes my local Ion (KPXM) is on 40RF PSIP 41 but it logs as 40. Sounds like a glitch

Why am I getting this local channel in my guide in RED & no info ,when I have Houston locals?

8714 WWMTD

 

[digiblur]

Don't see it on my guide.. do you have more than receiver? If so, do you see it on the other one too?

 

[MikeD-C05]

Both of my receivers(722k & 211k) have it RED in the guide.

I am seeing this in my guide too. It is also RED and no info available.

 

[Kirby Baker]

Its in my guide too, but it should be there, as its my CW. Red and no info. Interesting that its showing up in TX.

 

[Uther Pendragon]

Its not September 13th yet.

It will be here.

I started seeing commercials from DISH on the Science channel last night for NFL REDZONE, almost sounded like it was already available but didn't see it on my guide. Saw more commercials from DISH this morning. Also heard a commercial on Phoenix talk radio on the way to work.

WWMTD ch 007-00 started showing on my guide today in red as a subscription channel.....looks like a CW station, but dont understand why it shows up in the Atlanta locals

 

[tigershere]

It's in my locals too and I am in Alabama. I get channel 21 for the CW currently which is out of B'Ham
I hope this one is going to be one I will get or at worst pay for. I watch the CW a lot but non HD it really sucks.

 

[MikeD-C05]

In red in my all channels for Houston; channel 7.

 

[digiblur]

If you have 61.5 then you will see this channel in red as Dish is not hiding this channel on 61.5 from non-subs.

 

[tigershere]

I am on 61.5
I so wish I could get the CW in HD ;/

 

[MikeD-C05]

If you have 61.5 then you will see this channel in red as Dish is not hiding this channel on 61.5 from non-subs.

So why are they doing this?

 

[digiblur]

So why are they doing this?

It's just a mistake on their part as they forgot to flag it. Maybe they'll get enough complaints or read the forums here.

 

[MikeD-C05]

Yes, it must of been a mistake as it is gone now.
