Well, ever since the locals went HD in Houston, I've been losing all of my ABC timers (on the ViP622). I'm glad that the locals went HD in Houston, but I have now gone into the preferences menu (where you can chose HD, SD or off) and turned off locals via sat. It really is a shame.
I believe that, when the HD sat locals are turned on, there are two of the same channel in the guide. So, when creating a timer for an OTA HD show, it gets confused. It finds the same show on two channels and doesn't add future showings. Thus the need to turn off HD sat locals.
Having dependable consistent timers is a must have when owning a DVR. I'd rather have dependable consistent timers than another option for viewing/recording HD locals.
It would be great if they could get this to work. Is anyone else experiencing this?
