Auto Hop not working on one OTA channel

[tallfence]

Auto Hop is not working on one of my OTA channels. I think it used to work but stopped about two months ago but I can't confirm that. The channel is Boston's WBZ CBS channel 4. Auto Hop works on the satellite channel 4 and all other satellite locals and all other OTA channels including Portland, ME's CBS OTA. The problem is with both of my HWS. Any thoughts?

I thought Autohop only worked with satellite locals and Primetime Anytime?

Nope. It works with OTA recordings from the big 4.

How do I enable that, do I still have to enable primetime anytime but just unchecked all days of the week?

I believe all you have to do is enable PTAT for any day.

I don't think you can turn on PTAT without selecting at least (1) day and (1) network at a minimum.

Autohop does work on OTA channels too - it simply matches up *programs* and doesn't care what channel it's on.

AutoHop works on my OTA channels.

Yes, that's what I said...

Is it just me or are others missing autohop from Boston's WBZ CBS channel 4-1 OTA? I've had a conversation with DIRT but no solution. Seems to me it's probably just some software flag somewhere Dish needs to change. I get autohop on satellite channel 4-0 and on Portland ME's OTA CBS channel 13-1.

Yes, autohop stopped working on my local CBS OTA, WUSA in Washgington DC. The others still work. This stopped shortly after the two delay was added for OTA for the ABC channel

I have never had OTA channels record with PTAT. MY PTAT is on 7 days a week, but the OTA channels do not record.

That's because you have to set an OTA timer. PTAT is satellite only..... With PTAT enabled, OTA will Auto Hop however....

Just set PTAT for the day before. Turn it off before that day comes.

PTAT doesn't utilize OTA however with PTAT enabled you can use auto-hop on select OTA recordings.
