This is what I get when I try recording OTA on my phone on my Home LAN:

If I select a satellite channel then there’s no problem creating the timer.

Welcome to our club! 😂

Exactly what I got. Wonder why this has been going on for so long? I would think lots of folks have locals and would have discovered this and reported it.

Maybe there is some reason why. There may be some legal technicalities involved.

Most likely, because I know I used to do this all the time when I worked on Saturdays and there was a game OTA I wanted to record. I would fire up the DishAnywhere app, find the game in the Guide, press 🔴 and the Event Timer was created. Although the last time I did this was probably over a year ago.

Yes always did work for me up until 5-6 months ago. Same message

Looks like you will have to create all your timers from the receiver itself and then you can watch them on the app once they record.

Yes and I found once you set a timer on the receiver you can then change the timer settings (start time, all episodes, etc) on the app if you need to

Yes, and if you're out of town for a few weeks like I am during premiere season, that really sucks! Not sure how Dish can overlook what I feel is a pretty serious issue. Have any of you reported this (that are having this issue)?
I just noticed I now have H381 update (I didn't yesterday), but it obviously didn't contain anything to fix this issue
