622 Local HD Guide Information

I have a Vip 622 and on a couple of my local HD channels the programming guide information is displayed for the standard definition channel but not the local HD channel which is received by the OTA antenna which makes it hard to DVR a show on that channel. I am subscribed to my locals and Dish put in a network ticket to try and resolve the issue but it has been over 4 weeks and I wasn't sure if anyone else has a fix to this problem. Thanks

Dish only fills in the guide data for the digital counterparts of the analog stations they carry. For example, if they carry your local NBC's analog station, the guide data for the related digital channel, i.e. channel XX-1, will be filled in. Is that what you see ?? If Dish doesn't carry your local CW or an independent station, the guide data for that channel will not be filled in. It reads "Digital Service", correct ??

Yes, but the only programming in actual HD is Braves baseball and I hear most of that is going away for next year (moving to the Turner sports channel).

I understand that the programing is in SD but the signal is 1080i HD 100% of the time. So it is an HD OTA channel. Hopefully they will start to add some HD programing but it will probably be a mixed bag of SD, SD stretch-o-vision, HD cropped, with some HD OAR like TNT-HD.

Actually its not restricted that way. Certainly if they carry the analog you can complain to them if the guide data is not being carried. They actually get a seperate stream of data for each OTA digital channel they carry Data for. In some cases they get seperate data for each of the subchannels, e.g. WNET in NY

In the majority of cities, Dish only carries the guide data for the 'main' digital channel. Yes, there are some cities where Dish is providing sub-channel guide data.

I live in Orlando, FL. The channel that is missing the OTA guide data is FOX, I mean that is a major local channel which I would assume should show the programming guide information. Is anyone else in Orlando having this problem? Thanks

Maybe this will help.....The guide information is showing up for 035-00 but not for the 035-01 HD channel via the OTA antenna. It is the FOX35 Orlando station. Thanks

Song Name Game Part 3!

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!

So let the game continue!

The last song was added by Bobby who posted...

One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters

CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!

Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game

Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.

Example:

Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow

Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio

Another example:

Ride the Lightning -- Metallica

Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne

Get it?

An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

Really excited for this season with Kentucky having a new coach and some really exciting recruits. Probably won't last long, but here's hoping this season is great.

Honestly, I would rather see an expanded bracketed playoff system than the current Conference Championship Game + playoff model we're using right now. The Conference Championships essentially allow two teams to beat up on each other, and then both typically are going to end up in the playoffs anyway unless it is one of the weaker or smaller conferences. Let them play it out on the field against others.

Until the Big Ten changed thier alignment, (a couple years ago) ... it was not like that at all, the East side won most years the west side represented the Big Ten, but they may have been the team with the 4th best record ...
They finally changed that, to a single conference ... but yes, in most cases, both teams will get in ... now, its a certain both will get in ...

The biggest issue with the Conference Now is the Number of TEAMS .... WAY to Many.
It would take 2-3 YEARS to do a round robin where everyone would play one another ... How do you know how good a team is when teams don't play the same teams ?

I like the move to campus sites for the early games. That adds a fun new dimension for fans, and cuts down on some of the travel expenses that would come with having to follow a team all the way through the playoffs at neutral sites.

That'd be more than the FA Cup! Over 700 teams. It is also the most glorious tournament in the world.

Maybe it is time to get rid of the College Football season and just go to a tournament. 128 teams, fill in the bottom end with the lower division. Random draw (except the top 10 teams are in one bucket to draw from in the first and second rounds to avoid OSU v Alabama in the first round), go from 128 to 8. 4 games. Then the 8 remaining teams play 7 games against each other. Then the top two play for the title.

Actually I survived despite them for 31 years and two expait assignments. But the quest for the current quarter's profits doomed long term vision, planning and actions.
