anybody in those markets confirm what is happening?
The DesMoines one is a remap of the Miami CW whcih doesnt make sense as there is a CW in the market

I think for traverse city they're trying to do some channel changes for the FOX affiliate and the ABC affiliate. I'm not sure if this is true, but I think Dish is still saying that FOX is channel 33 even though they changed to channel 32 two years ago during the digital transition. I really don't know what's happening with the ABC affiliate. From what I know, it can be channel 29 or channel 8 depending on where you live in Northern Michigan.

Yeah the Fox shows as 33 on Dish according to thelist

The other shows as mapped a few times in different markets...

I live inthe Des Moines market and 23 is KCWI out of DM and 24 is just CW and has diferent shows on it.

but why would they give you two CW affiliates?
Normally the only folks who have a imported CW are the markets without one on Dish

Would they give us the other CW if they were dropping the local market. I dont know it doesnt make much sense to me.

Thanks to Jeff Williamson at Echostar for getting guide Data for the Bounce channel on ota KBTV2 - 4.02 in Beaumont/Pt.Arthur ,Texas locals. I have been working with him and Kip Wilcoxson for about a month,back and forth with emails to get guide data for this channel. We finally have ota guide data for all ota channels in this local market ,except for 12.3 and 12.4. They won't ever have guide data because the channel owner that runs them(LONDON BROADCASTING) won't put out any psip or guide data for DISH to uplink.

Is there a way to see what markets have the OTA subchannel EPG data? Clicking on "The List" link at the top, I can't find any channels that are in the 10000's. And when I click on that specific spotbeam link in the uplink post, there is no channel 14074 listed. Is there another listing somewhere that lists all the OTA subchannel EPG data?
