Thread: IPG

Anyone know why the IPG is asking me which satellite to get the guide from? DSR922.

I get the same prompting message when the guide needs updating too. I sub thru Skyvision & some of the channels are on W5. My guess would be that either W5 or G1 are used for this depending on the package you are subbed to. My DSR922 gets hits on either of these sats.

So, the DSR922 can get IPG updates from W5 if you subscribe to any W5 programming?

NO the 922 only gets Guide updates from G1-3. When the Motorola datastream goes away 12/31 and a 922 gets remapped for HITS's 410 stream then it will get updates on W5.

Just for the heck of it I left my DSR922 on W5, TVGame ch 440, for a few hours today, powered off. It got hits alright but not guide updates. When the info button is pressed on the remote it still prompts that guide information is available on G1.
I seem to recall that G1-3, 150 & 167 are all valid for hits. I've left mine on ch 150 & the guide seemed to stay current while the ird was off.
The ALTV test bars are still there on W5 BTW.

My 922 is subbed to W5 on a fixed dish and gets it's hits and remaps there just fine for a few years now. The guide data in minimal showing only the title of the current program airing without any details.

W5 will show that on a 4D but nothing else yet.
