Dish Network Wish List!

How about putting the OTA program guide info from the OTA signal into the guide!!!! Or at least map the sat national guide data to local sub channels like Comet, Heroes & Icons, Real America's Voice…

This is the one thing making me consider cutting the cord. Crappy OTA guide data. All I have to do is cut the cord and my guide data will be awesome on AirTV or TiVo.

You have guide data for the subchannels I listed above? Or just the major networks? I have only major network guide data plus the PBS subchannels. Hopper 3?

Yes! I am in San Deigo and all seem to be correct.

Ok, now Dish is telling me that program guide data for OTA channels comes from OTA and not from the satellite. Do I have old hardware? Or are they blowing smoke up my tailpipe? Sorry for thread hijack.

How to Get Missing Guide Data for OTA Subchannels Like MeTV, Comet, Real America’s Voice

I have heard that Dish provides guide data for subchannels for people in at least some markets. Should I be able to convince them to provide it in my smaller market? I only get guide data for major networks. It seems like if the data is already there, all they would have to do is add my RF...

Dish does not use PSIP. EPG comes from satellites.

Who is going to wait 7 days to skip commercials.

I do. I acknowledge that it isn't something that DISH can reasonably fix.

If you press them they will tell you that the stations are the ultimate source of the data. Frankly the CSRs and even the forst line supervisors are not good sources of information.
