That doesn't help my DVR and letting me know what the program is.
We need the EPG data IN STREAM.
Forgot about that. But you could set up a manual timer for your OTA based on time.

Yes, but then when I come back to watch the program(s) I have no idea what's what.Forgot about that. But you could set up a manual timer for your OTA based on time.
but since THEY choose to BLOCK the PSIP as a LOCK-IN to FORCE you to pay the $5 for the locals, they should populate the EPG info for the OTA channels.
I didn't say that. They offer the ability to get the OTA stream via the tuners. They are BLOCKING part of that stream (PSIP). I want them to UNBLOCK the PSIP stream since I want to be able to use the OTA tuner that I BOUGHT and THEY SUPPLIED to RECORD programs and then be able to tell what they are.Yes, Dish should give us everything for free. How dare they charge us to use their DVR functions for non satellite programming....
It's only useless if you refuse to manually record. Is that really such a bad thing for awhile? If I understand correctly, isn't Dish the only provider you can even record OTA? (If not I stand corrected, but doesn't change you can manually record)It means I can watch the shows real time, but the DVR that I PAY $6/mo (+ the $17/mo/extra receiver) is USELESS for these channels.
It IS useless because each of the manual recordings will say "IMPORTANT INFO!" or whatever the EPG message is. It means I can't tell what the shows are to watch them.It's only useless if you refuse to manually record. Is that really such a bad thing for awhile?

I don't necessarily remember what times things are, and it makes things like keep only 3 for this timer (like for Leno) useless.Since you are recording them, you can't tell just by the time recorded what the show is?? This isn't throwing us into the dark ages...
Larry, calm down now.... You can 'Edit' the program info after it's been recorded. I don't like that option, but it is a work-around...It IS useless because each of the manual recordings will say "IMPORTANT INFO!" or whatever the EPG message is.

If I HAPPEN to be home and look at the DVR.Larry, calm down now.... You can 'Edit' the program info after it's been recorded. I don't like that option, but it is a work-around...
We can still rename recordings, can't we??It IS useless because each of the manual recordings will say "IMPORTANT INFO!" or whatever the EPG message is. It means I can't tell what the shows are to watch them.
I am calm, I am just not happy. There is a difference.
Yes, but it means things like "keep only 3 of this timer" don't work, and I have to spend my $100/hr time doing things that the computer in the DVR should do.We can still rename recordings, can't we??
I understand that and disagree with the fact that Dish is blocking the OTA part. I suspect it's just part of their propaganda to get US to complain to LIN-TV. For those of us with OTA setups, we'd be "happy" and wouldn't bother to help Dish fight this.I want DISH to CHANGE what they are doing.
Won't work for me. I'm in agreement on the retrans stuff, but this should be fixed. I pay a LOT of $ to Dish every month, and want things to work.I understand that and disagree with the fact that Dish is blocking the OTA part.

We have replaced it with a message because LIN has removed the broadcast of their guide and programming
We only have the ability to provide u what they broadcast, if they dont broadcast it for that channel we will replace it with a message
Ranting with those of us agree with your OTA point is probably a waste of time though. Kinda like preaching to the choir...Won't work for me. I'm in agreement on the retrans stuff, but this should be fixed. I pay a LOT of $ to Dish every month, and want things to work.
I will continue to rant until things change
