I want to add a TV what do I need

<div class="bbWrapper">I get info on a digital converter box, It gives the name of the program and what is next. It also gives a description. I can live with it to eliminate a box. The * button worked, thanks</div>

But the Dish guide info will not appear until the receiver updates, usually when it&#039;s off. You can force an update by doing a check switch. Note that not all stations are carried by Dish, so those may not have guide data. The PSIP data that your converter box shows you is (mostly) discarded by the receiver in favor of the 9-day EEPG.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">After you ran the Check Switch, did you actually select the Test button, then Done? Did you then get the Acquiring Sat Signal Screen?</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">You have to select TEST after the check switch to force a guide update.<br /> <br /> Ed</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">after I got home I checked what I did and I did select the test button. So I have had two overnight updates and two forced updates, still no info.</div>

If it does not work, which it should, then call Dish. But you seem to be the only one who can&#039;t get it.</div>

 

[TheKrell]

<div class="bbWrapper">I think all those updates should have filled in your guide if it ever will. Something is wrong somewhere. Are you subscribed to Dish satellite locals? What is your zip and where does Dish think you live?</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">According to my quick check of the Dish website, you should get these local channels via satellite:<br /> <br /> CHARLESTON FOX-WVAH IN HD<br /> CHARLESTON ION-WLPX <br /> CHARLESTON CBS-WOWK IN HD<br /> CHARLESTON NBC-WSAZ IN HD<br /> CHARLESTON CW-WQCW<br /> CHARLESTON PBS-WPBY<br /> CHARLESTON PBS-WOUB<br /> CHARLESTON ABC-WCHS IN HD<br /> CHARLESTON PBS-WPBO <br /> <br /> If you are <i>not </i>getting these channels via satellite, then Dish has you set up wrong and a nice Dish TSR will need to fix it. You may also get these channels OTA in all their digital perfection <i>including </i>HD where available as well as all subchannels, none of which are on satellite. I presume that some or all of the above, when you tune them in OTA, are the ones for which no guide exists. Dish will have to fix this.</div>

[TheKrell]

<div class="bbWrapper">Yes you should! The guide for the OTA stations looks much like, if not identical to, the guide information for the same channel on satellite. It should go out 9 days.</div>

 

[crazie]

<div class="bbWrapper">OK, Thanks. I&#039;ll have to give Dish a call</div>
