Power off all Hoppers/Joeys after making sure no recordings will fire within 30 minutes. Red button reboot the Hopper and wait, you may or may not see the guide update on the screensaver. It has a mind of it's own.
I tried your suggestion, but it didn't work. It looks to be updating just the hour ahead, after that it still has the important notice reminder. Thanks for your help though. I'm sure it will update overnight.

The timing says otherwise. Media General seemed they weren't going to take any major action until their merger was approved.I'm surprised at how soon this happened.
My guess is dish had to cave in somewhat or keep bleeding subs. There's a saying for that.
Glad it's back.
That's one thing I miss about Erie, I never read anything about the owners of those stations having disputes with cable and/or satellite providers. Here, on the other hand, almost every station is a network O&O in both markets that are carried on Comcast (save for Tribune's WPIX and WPHL), and those station owners/networks have been known for carriage disputes (thankfully, Comcast owns NBC nowadays, dunno how much that helps, though).
No Autohop since agreement?
Has anyone else noticed that since my media general station was added back into PTAT that auto hop has not been available on any recording since on that channel?

It was added back from the "agreement" on Saturday I believe. My PTAT is set to fire everyday, and since the agreement it has recorded my NBC station but auto hop has not been added to any of the NBC recordings since.
Your exactly right. No autohop on my PTAT NBC shows either. Looks like autohop will eventually go away all together. That's what it looks like.

Doubtful, I bet it has to do with the flags being sey for that station since it was a recently added back.
Possible, but that would mean flags are incorrect for multiple stations since mine is WNCN in Raleigh, NC and Gobucks is in OH. Anyway to check that out for us?
Not at all. I don't over react about this stuff. This kinda stuff is last on my list to ever worry about. Didn't mean to sound in a panic.
All I know is we have our NBC channels back after the new agreement. Not one show has had autohop since. Hopefully it will all work out but there could be a chance it won't. Thats all my friend.

FWIW the guide data from Saturday till tonight has been incomplete with trimmers not seeing the shows they are for. I say wait till the end of the week before worrying.
I would assume it's affecting the channels that were restored, regardless the call letters or DMA. I would let DIRT know and they can send a report. They are pretty good at getting things addressed quickly.
I would probably just check in the morning and see if they are working. Maybe one more nightly update will do the trick.
Thanks lucky! I can confirm events from my nbc yesterday do have auto hop enabled this morning.
