WOW! That is an excellent analysis. I'm new to this stuff, but I can understand it. It's nice to get this -- I was thinking that I'd have to contact the stations, and inform them that something is broken. Thank you! :)

Yes, I have the same issue. This concept boggled me; how could stations get conflated? My local PBS shows the guide for my local FOX station. I recall (from a few years ago) discovering this -- but I can't find the website that showed it. Is there a website that shows the issue? I'd like to...

While we're talking about OTA, I'd like to ask about solutions to get guide info for those channels. Reading some other posts here, I learned that the guide won't have details about the shows. Zap2It was mentioned. I'd like an Android app.

Yes, that worked! Channel 0 is the radioid and 1 is Preview. It's been so long since I used it that I forgot about that! Why wouldn't they? It's the XMDirect module -- XMD1000, meant to be used with a car head unit. I guess that aftermarket HU manufacturers didn't integrate satellite yet...

Hello. Yes, I just registered today. I'd like to know if old equipment (e.g. pre-merger) is still usable. I had XM service, but had to drop it about 2006. Are the radio and antenna still usable?
