I live in Lake Charles,La 70611. I have recieved the SDMA update. Channel 56.1 CBS (out of Lafayette) is there and working but no PG info. This station currently does not send out any PSIP Data.

Also PBS Channel 20.1 2 & 3 (shows as 18.3 & 5 on the PG) is messed up 18.3 is actually 18.5 and and 18.5 which should be 18.3 doesn't work at all.

Hi everyone,

Ever since the Washington DC Super DMA was fixed last Tuesday..I can scan
and receive both DCA and BWI stations except DC UPN channel 20.1 or RF-35 does not scan it..The VOOM manual tune says it is at 89-strength..However my other HD tuners are receiving it OK..

This needs to be reported..Tks..

1. 12182
2. Albany, NY
3. 17-3 (17-2)
4. WMHT
5. 34
6. 99

I have had an ongoing issue with this sub-station and the voom stb, the super dma update is just the latest wrinkle. The station is WMHT, they broadcast on rf34 with 17-1 being the SD and 17-3 being the HD. Originally, the VOOM stb, tuned 17-3 on 17-2 with no PG Data. Then 17-2 dissapeared and 17-3 was in the PG with data, but the STB could not tune in. 17-1, however, tunes just fine. Then another PG update came along and my PG had both a 17-2 and a 17-3. 17-3 had PG data, but still could not tune. 17-2 tunes in, but no PG data. Finally, after the latest super dma update, 17-2 is gone. 17-3 is there with data, but still cannot tune-in. (17-1 still works fine, 17-3 comes in fine on my other OTA STB.)

I have also noticed this station changes their format for Station ID going from 1080i to 480i and back. The voom stb always gets confused and then either sits in black or leaves the wrong aspect ratio (looks squeezed) on screen until I channel-up/down to correct. But I guess this is another issue altogether.

Super DMA for Greenville, SC was rolled out several days ago, but I still have a problem. WSOC (ABC dt34) from Charlotte shows up in my guide, I can tune in and watch it, but I still get no program info. I do get program info for all of the other Charlotte networks, but not 9-1.

I live in Sulphur, LA 70663. I have recieved the SDMA update.

The PG for PBS Channel 20.1 2 & 3 (shows as 18.3 & 5 on the PG) out of Beaumont, TX is incorrect. What is playing on 18.3 shows up as if it's playing on 18.5 and vice versa. So when I'm watching Nature in beautiful High Definition, the guide says I'm watching Barney & Friends.

I do pick up more stations than I could before though. And that's cool.

Midland/Odessa DMA i don't know the number got its super DMA yesterday. It only added two stations, 6-1 which i don't know what this is, and 34-1 Fox out of Lubbock. I know I have gotten before 11-1 out of LUbbock, and 20-1,2 out of Abilene (Sweetwater). Can't all the stations from Lubbock and Abilene be added to the super DMA as I can get some of them some of the time. Thank you

Okay I now have the info. The Midland/Odessa DMA is 157. The channel that I wish were added to the super DMA are 5-1,2,3 (PBS Lubbock which is acutally 39-1,2,3 but is renamed 5-1,2,3 on my tv HD tuner), 27-1 (KAMC DT abc Lubbock) 40-1 (KLCK DT cbs Lubbock) 9-1,2,3 (KCBD-DT NBC Lubbock which I think actually comes up as 11-1,2,3) Soon 33-1 (KWES DT from Big Spring which is where i live) will be broadcast, and I will definitely need this one when it goes live. The most important one is 20-1,2 KTXS DT (cbs Abilene station broadcast out of Sweetwater), I can get this one very well and wish you would add it to the super dma as well. Thank you

Ok, a couple of days ago my OTA guide data disappeared for several channels and has not come back. Also, the channel descriptions changed for some channels and several are gone altogether, The numbers are there but the station identifiers are not. It has been working fine since installation and since superDMA upgrade a couple weeks ago until thelast few days.

I did the usual, soft reboot, hard reboot, re scanned locals, etc with no change. It is on all boxes, I have three. I have local map 0092. Zip code is 61434.

The satellite pg is fine. I have done several reboots, soft and hard and every time it comes back the same. Sat channels OK, locals screwed up. I noticed some of the stations have different call letters than before, the ones with the missing guide data. Example it used to say KWQC-D1 and KWQC-D2, now says KWQC-HD and KWQC-SD with no guide data. There is also some channels with just the number such as 18-2 and 30-1 with no call letters.

Thanks,
