Eastern Arc OTA guide

[llzel]

anyone in St Louis with eastern arc setup (61,72,77) and HD locals with 1000.4?
I'm checking to see if the OTA locals show up in the EPG. I'm getting conflicting answers.

anyone else in EA have OTA show up in EPG?.

Here's what I heard and read searching. STL OTA EPG information is on sat 110. Some say if I install EA I'll lose SD locals (So what) but still have HD locals on 61.5. but will I lose my OTA guide? I dvr all network stuff from OTA.

My 1000+ system is being replaced because of DPP44 switch problems.

If you have scanned the OTA's into the receiver, and EA offers your locals, they should show up in the EPG.

Thanks, but it's the OTA channel guide I'm more interested in for the DVR.

If you have OTA and subscribe to your locals, you should get the guide info. If you do not subscribe, you will only have 'Digital Service' in your OTA guide listings.

That's what I was trying to say Gary, it just didn't come out as eloquent as yours.

On Eastern Arc here in Minneapolis I'm getting all of the guide data for all my OTA sources including the digital sub-channels that Dish doesn't carry, so it would appear that you can get the same guide data off EA that you can from WA.
