That would depend on the model of his receiver, would it not?
811 = Can use OTA PSIP data where available.
921, 942 = Require Dish local subscription for guide data.

Oh ok that answers the question.
Your dish locals are on the 121 superdish.
So even if you don't want to subscribe to your locals you'd have to have a 121 superdish set up to receive the guide info for those local channels.
Curious. How did you sign up with dish? Did you buy your receiver? If you're leasing the 811 through the DHA promo the locals are included in your monthly cost (and the superdish) in the installation

Yeah they installed the wrong dish. You get your SD locals from dish included in the price you're paying for your programming package anways so they should've installed a superdish.
Call 1-800-333-3474 and tell them you got installed and live in the Madison, WI market and should've received a superdish to get your locals but they did not install a superdish

Nope, the 811 reads the Station ID from the OTA PSIP, then maps the info from the Dishnet Local. No subscription is required though.NightRyder said:

hey neighbor... no you dont need a Super Dish...
Downside to the way the guide reads you wont be able to see what is on UPN 27-2.
damn thats 2 (ex) voomers within 60 mile of each other in central ky. I bet we are the only ones in the state. none of the installers around here seem to know much about it.
as far as upn27-2 the only thing i watch on there is today at keenland and i know when that comes on. the 5 local pbs dtv channels are the best thing in hd. i would miss them more than the voom 21.
thanks for the info.

Make that 3 ex-Voomers. I live in New Albany, IN (right across the river from Louisville). My E* installation is scheduled for Monday. They told me I would need a second dish, which was free, in order to receive two of my local channels (21 and 68). I'm curious how all of that's going to work with the 2 811 receiver's I'm scheduled to have installed.
I see you guys are using the old OTA Voom antenna for HD local. Is that an option? If so, I'm going to cancel the second dish as I got all of my locals fine with the Voom antenna. Though, I'm curious what will happen if Voom wants their antenna back
