Las Vegas OTA SUBCHANNEL GUIDE INACCURATE!

[Hall]

...should I go up the dishceo chain?

I suspect that is handled by DIRT now. Can't hurt to try and see if whoever responds is a familiar name.

some of that is simple fix for the channels that were already there and just moved around, just getting someone that cares enough to get it to the right person to make the changes on Dish's end. The rest is just corporate BS not providing any data for new additions.

Agree.

Ok lets first see how valuable Dirt really is here. Will be reaching out to one as soon as I see one here online.

 

[foghorn2]

I reached out to Speedy. Not Slo-Poke Rodriguez. My impression is that he's the best out of the bunch.
Crossing fingers.

 

[osu1991]

They are all good. Matt, Zach, MikeH have all helped me above and beyond over the past couple of years.

Did you refer him to this thread?

 

[foghorn2]

Yes, perfect thread because it already has all the info. My screenshots and your diagnosis and possible solution.

 

[Bobby]

And I see that Matt has been here!

It would be nice if someone cared enough to try to fix this issue.

Exactly! Its not like we are getting this stuff for free, I pay fees and purchased the dongle and it should be an easy fix.

Well it looks line Matt has looked at this thread but no response yet. We shall see if they really care or not and the true usefulness of DIRT in the grand scheme of things.

Any update ?

 

[foghorn2]

No updates, looks like Dirt has not been successful and or not responding and or not taking action. Don't know yet.

 

[foghorn2]

3-02 has been fixed, strange since the other ones have not been fixed. Its a spanish channel so I could careless unless it says Noticias so i can notice the weather ladies' @s

 

[GaryPen]

Honestly, they probably just don't give a damn. It's not really their equipment, but a service offered to make things easier.

Right. So, why bother to do the job correctly?
Doing a good job is for losers.

 

[GaryPen]

I don't know why Dish no longer does it. I realize it takes a person some time to look up the info and update the database, but what's the threshold ? If they can do it in less than 1 hour a month ? Who knows.....
That's one major reason, no doubt. Face it, no one subscribes to Dish's programming just to get the hardware with OTA capability. If Dish shut off the OTA dongle, I won't cancel their service and I assure you, very, very few customers will.

As Iceberg points out, DirecTV does it by tying their system directly to Tribune's. Why can't Dish do this?
It only takes some effort for the initial configuration. Then, it's on auto-pilot.

 

[foghorn2]

Dish may be forced to do something now, Sinclair has just stopped the nbc simulcast on 21.1 (rf 2.1) and replaced it with antenna tv. 21.1 I believe is must carry.

 

[Hall]

Your pictures in the first post don't show 21-1 at all.

It was not in that profile's favorite list on the super joey. It used to be a mirror of NBC channel 3. And used to be KVMY before that.

Before:
Channel Video Aspect Programming[11]
21.1 720p 16:9 NBC (KSNV-DT)
21.2 480i 4:3 Cozi TV
21.3 480i 4:3 Antenna TV

Now:
Channel Video Aspect Programming[11]
21.1 480i4:3Antenna TV
21.2 480i 4:3 Cozi TV
21.3 dead air

In this situation, I'm pretty sure that guide data will correct itself shortly.

What is being broadcast on satellite channel 21-0 ? I presume it's Antenna TV. What does the guide show for the channel logo, NBC or Antenna TV, and what about the guide data itself ?

 

[foghorn2]

Scan was done. 21.0- which you see in the first picture- was carried by sat. It's non-existent now. 21.1 which is now Antenna TV has channel 3's guide data and a NBC PeeCock logo.

SO basically Dish just eliminated 21.0 which should be 21.1
