Our Local CW station 033-1 has always had the correct guide info until a few weeks ago. At that time a new channel 031-1 was added, a local Univision channel. Ever since then the CW channel has had the Univision guide info. Really screws up my timers for Supernatural and Smallville. Emailed Dish and I got the standard reboot recommendations, when that didn't work they had me send all my receiver info to them and they said they would forward it to the techs, no fix yet.:(

SkyviewMark mentioned only the two LIN channels, here is a complete list for Mobile/Pensacola. All say "Digital Service" except 010-01, 042-02, 055-01 which have wrong info.

WDPM 004-01 (Daystar Affiliate)

WALA 010-01 (LIN dispute)

WMPV 021-01 (TBN); 021-02 (ChurchTV); 021-03 (JCTV); 021-04 (Enlace); 021-05 (Smile of a Child)

WSRE 023-04 (V-me)

WHBR 033-02 (CTNi)

WGPX 035-02 (Cool TV)

WEIQ 042-02 has same guide as 042-01 but should be their "IQ" channel

WFNA 055-01 (LIN dispute)
 
Colorado Springs, CO
I just checked all the settings. I can receive 21 OTA channels.
8.0 is station KTSC. This is the PBS station that I get over the satellite.
8.1 is KTSC-D. This is the same PBS station but it comes from the OTA module. It shows the guide data.
8.2 is V-ME. It shows the guide data. This is another OTA channel.
8.3 is Create TV. This is an OTA channel. It just shows digital services in the guide data.
8.4 is AINC. It is just an audio broadcast and it shows digital services in the guide data.

I just checked another TV that is not hooked up to the satellite but I do have a digital to analog converter box connected to it. I am using the DTV TV Pal Plus from Dish Network. It has a guide button similar to the Dish satellite remote. When I press that button, all of the channels that I have scanned will show up almost like the dish TV Guide menu. I scanned over to the Create TV channel. It has the TV listings and times. So it seems that if I can get the TV Guide data there is should be possible that I get it on the Dish guide.

The difference is the DTVPal and DTVPal DVR gets it info directly from the guide services (Tribune I think)
Dish Network has to load the channel into their system for guide info to show if you use OTA. They dont have to carry the channel in the local packages but they have to load the guide info into the system.

Here is the list of stations that show guide data in your market. Any other channel in the market will show "digital service"
5-01 KOAA
8-01 KTSC
8-02 KTSC2
11-01 KKTV
11-02 KKTV2
13-01 KRDO

21-01 KXRM

Iceberg, you are the man, so I write this response with great respect for your knowledge: I believer the DTVPal and DTVPal DVR and rebranded Channel Master DVR (really the Echostar product) gets its guide data from the local PSIP and the TVGuide data is from a local station broadcasting the TV Guide On Screen service and supports connected devices--to the Echostar DVR--that support TVGuide On Screen. Please feel free to correct me. I am here to learn.
 
Iceberg. I also get another 3 PBS stations out of Denver, Colorado.
12-1 KBDI DT
12-2 KBDI +
12-3 KBDI WV
All 3 stations show the TV listings in the guide menu.

I was getting guide data for this channel before the LIN issues and even after. But, the last few days all I get is digital service. The Fox channel is ok, but the CBS LIN still has this problem.

Providence, RI

12-1 CBS- WPRI

12-2 CBS - WPRI - COOL

Indianapoliis,IN: WXIN's sub channel 59.2 shows digital service, should be Antenna TV. WIPB's sub channel 49.2 says digital service, should be Create. WNDY 23.1 shows Important news instead of proper EPG. WNDY's sub channel 23.2 shows digital service, should be COOL TV. WFYI's sub channel 20.2 shows same info as 20.1, should be V Me. WISH 8.1 shows Important News instead of proper EPG.

Add to mrc54's list for Indianapolis, Indiana.

WISH 8.3 "Digital Service" use to show "Radar".
WIPB 49.3 "Digital Service" could be listed as "Weather".
