New symptom
I have another symptom to add to this discussion. I just got a new 622, and I do not subscribe to local channels. I also do not get OTA EPG for the locals that I receive via antenna.
When I do a program search on my new 622, it will pull up the "digital service" time frame when the searched for program airs on the OTA channel. I still can not select the program in the search results for DVR recording, but the receiver knows that the program is comming on. This is frustrating. I believe it confirms that Dish is blocking the EPG for an increase in OTA subscriptions.
I believe they are doing this by altering the PSIP data from the local broadcaster within the receiver. I feed the same antenna directly into my Sony HDTV, and I can see the guide information via PSIP there. But, that means changing inputs on the TV to see the local channels. The TV has its own set of quirks with this, but that's another topic.
Is anyone else seeing this when you do a search?
