Did anyone with H3 get the OTA to SAVE OTA channels to a Fav List ?????? Or is it a software issue ????

I believe it's still a glitch. I scanned and picked up all my channels but they did not save to the guide yet. May have to wait a few days to see if it will work.

Thanks,Sherman, I think we need a thread of known software glitches so folks like me won't keep trying to get something to work when it won't.Maybe there is one I haven't found. : )

Has to be a bug. I've tried as recently as this morning with no joy. The channels are present in the pre-populated list but not in any favorites.

There is a thread in the Hopper forum called Hopper 3 Problems. I would keep an eye on that one.

I've been trying to read them all. Not many OTA users I quess. My Dish installer had never seen an OTA module before??

There are a lot of OTA users on here. Outside of here, most don't even know it's an option.

Same here.

After you scanned, did you check the channels you wanted to save on the left side of the channels screen, or Select All? You have to do that to get it to save in the All Channels guide.

I did not. I only tried it once. I didn't spend too much time on it last night.

Same problem here. The channels show up in All Channels and All Subscribed, but they don't stick when I try to add them to a Favorites list.

Hopefully an update is in order for a fix.

I have found a somewhat inconvenient workaround...

For each OTA channel you want to add to your favorites:
1. Tune to the channel
2. Press the red button on your remote
3. Choose option 3 (Favorite)
4. Switch the Guide to show All channels, then back to your Favorites list

Now you should see your OTA favorite on the list!

EDIT: This worked on my Joey, but it doesn't seem to work on the Hopper.
