    ATSC tuner in Satellite Receiver

    ADVERTS 1
    If a Satellite Receiver has an ATSC tuner in it does it add the OTA channels to the satellite channel list ?

    Yes, it does.
    If you had sub for local you'll get a guide for them also.

    yes

    It has it separate in the list under its own "satellite". Depending on the receiver the sat may be "DTV" (Pansat 9200) or a bogus satellite name (Coolsat 8000) but if you sort by satellite the DTV channels are separate from the satellite channels

    Well, it was a remark for DTV/Dish satellite receivers, same time I'm thinking newest FTA sat receivers could use TitanTV service for populate a guide for local stations. Azbox claim they had APG for that.

    sadly no.
    The Coolsat 8000 originally had a EPG guide in it.....but they forgot the satellite software in it

    After a few software upgrades the OTA EPG went kaput

    Well, it was a remark for DTV/Dish satellite receivers
    This is the FTA area so we dont use Dish/Direct receivers here

    Sadly my 811 went kaput too
    Have one here with yellow card (well embedded card) that was used for OTA & NASA...Once Dish downloaded the newest software into it (which the receiver was out of stream for 6 months or so so it just downloaded the other day) now I have a doorstop. All channels (including the FTA ones) say "you must call Dish to get new card" and I cant access the OTA channels. They dont show in the guide

    oh well......whoops kinda got off topic but eh, we're use to it here
