I have a 722k with ota module. The local station added Metv on a sub channel a few weeks ago. Why does it not show up in the Dish on screen guide? Their other sub the CW does. Would like to record some old shows.
You can set manual timers to use your 722K, I use Tivo for local OTA they have guide info.I have a 722k with ota module. The local station added Metv on a sub channel a few weeks ago.

Yeap.... You always have to re-scan to add new channels. That applies to Dish's OTA equipment, TVs, and so on.Did you rescan for the new channel?

Did the sub-channel exist before and they changed from network "?" to MeTV a few weeks ago ? If they just physically added the sub-channel and then put MeTV on, you will not get guide data.no info though just "Digital Service"
They just added this sub. I can also get the Syracuse MeTv and that has the guide data, but they don't run all of the same shows, reruns of the local news, and such.Did the sub-channel exist before and they changed from network "?" to MeTV a few weeks ago ?

thanks..am sorry I did not see the original postI posted the procedure in another thread about problems with the ota sub-channel recording
Press the record button three times, move over to Manual Timer Press select. Set your start and stop times and press Create.
I wouldn't hold your breathe waiting for it. Dish is no longer adding new sub-channel data. It will pick up the channel designation (like you're already seeing) but the guide data will not show programming info.They just added this sub
That's sorta true.... If, a couple of years ago, the station had the sub-channel in place and Dish carried the main channel (the -1 one), they will show the guide data. Dish carries no sub-channels in my market over satellite but many have guide data. That is, the ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, and PBS station's sub-channels.Generally, if Dish does not carry the sub channel over satellite, they do not carry the guide data.
