the same here in willmar,mn off of the low power stuff here. I think it has to do with the fact they are on different rf channels here.
Springfield Mo. Market
015-00 in SD off Satellite, (CW) info ok
033-02 in HD off Antenna (CW) same channel as above KCZ, digital service info more than a year now, makes it hard to record without guide info.
005-00 in SD off Satellite (FOX KRBK) dish does have it uplinked in HD, maybe turn it on this week. Guide info ok.
049-01 in HD off Antenna (Fox KRBK) same channel as above. Guide info is same as channel 272 FTRAW, hope we get this fixed soon.

I realize it's more work, but if anyone can contact the engineering people at their local station(s) and begin a good dialogue, odds are that those people can get the issue solved by working directly with Dish. Of course, the people at station "A" aren't likely to communicate to Dish any similar issue with station "B" though.
I emailed the Dish Quality Dept at Echostar and I forwarded this to the op. managers at the TV stations.
Dish Quality Dept. said it is because of improper TSID's. I emailed the tv managers and dish quality once in March 2011 and in May and June 2011 but nothing has changed on my OTA data. I sent them the TSID's that I acquired but all is the same as it was in March.

Haha ! Improper ? Sounds like the station is still using the 'wrong' TSID so maybe it's Dish who should conform to what the station is using !!
Does anyone from DIRT want to tackle this issue again? It is not going to get resolved unless someone keeps pushing for a resolution.
OK, I read that. (1) Tony only said he "hoped" to get engineering involvement. Seems likely that never happened. (2) Tony is no longer with the Dish IRT. I think jb3683's chirping is entirely appropriate.
Norfolk, VA (don't know DMA #)
15.01 WHRO displays correct info
15.02 WORL displays duplicate of 15.01 info (actual programming is correct, just the guide info is wrong)
15.03 displays correct info.
By the way, the channel guide at Zap2it (Tribune) is correct for these channels.
Reported this to Dish via online chat. Said it would be referred to engineering.
Also, like others here, would like to see the guide info for AntennaTV. It is available at Zap2it so we know Tribune can supply it to Dish if they would ad it to the guide.

14073 - WPXT2 [EPG] added to EchoStar10 110W TP 23 Spotbeam 08 (OTA EPGortland, ME)(NA)
Hooray!! Finally EPG info for 51.2 ME-TV in Portland. It has been a long wait.
Well we have one that Dish needs to move now
KSTP 5 (ABC) and KSTC (Ind) did some housekeeping on their numbering system (they call it streamline) today
They moved 45-1 (Ind) and 45-2(This) to 5-45 & 5-4. This never had guide info but now 45 is all screwed up
45-1 shows guide info for 45. The issue is 45-1 is a loop on how to rescan your TV
5-45 shows digital service but its what was 45-1
So the guide info is there....its more of a pointing to the right channel now

that is a stupid change, as it means going further down in out of UHF into the VHF frequencies. I wonder why they are shifting them down. Someone else want the UHF spectrum?
its just a remap. We have a couple examples like that in Minneapolis
In the analog days we had 2 PBS stations, KTCA 2 & KTCI 17...both owned by Twin Cities Public Television. KTCA is on RF34 and KTCI is on RF23. 6 months before the conversion they merged them together on the PSIP info. SO we have this
2-1 PBS (RF34)
2-2 The MN channel (RF34)
2-3 TPT Life (think Create) (RF23)
2-4 Aeronautical weather (RF34)
Now 5 & 45 did the same thing. Both are owned by Hubbard (the same folks who started USSB back in the day). KSTP 5 is on RF35 and KSTC45 is on RF45. So now the PSIP shows
5-1 KSTP (RF35)
5-3 MeTV (RF45)...coming soon
5-4 ThisTV (RF45)
5-45 KSTC (RF45)
45-1 & 45-2 are just loops on how to rescan
The goofy one in the bunch is why they moved 5-2 which had reruns of news and the locals shows to 45-5 (RF35)
Mike I've seen this done in many markets where companies own 2 different stations.
