Local Channel - NY showing up with ATL

[CompuJ]

Let me start by saying that I do have the CE release and apologize if this belongs there.

This is the first time I have noticed this. When using the Smart Search for a local show, it shows up channel 5 ATL (WAGA) and channel 5 NY (WNYW), is that normal? This may be the first time I have noticed it as I normally setup recordings via the guide. WNYW does not show up in the guide.

The only reason I did notice is that I setup a show to record, went to watch it, and got the 721 message.

sadly yes that is normal

Some smart searches it shows odd ball channels that you can't get. Some of the stations (locals) it shows the OTA version too but I dont have a AM21 (yet)

The national (HD GUI) release is like that too

Thanks for the info! I'll have to keep a better eye out on my smart searches.

I think its only the NY Big4 and then some of your OTA channels. I've seen WCBS 2 on a few searches
