Any reason why DISH doesn't do this? No locals available in my area but it qualifies for everything but ABC from All American Direct. Would providing the guide info be an admission that the locals are receivable with an antenna? Therefore shouldn't be qualified for AAD?

I don't really care for myself (I get HD locals via Comcast QAM), but my mother uses an antenna and would love to have the EPG info. Can't sub to DISH locals when they don't offer them.
 
They used have local OTA guide data with the MPEG 2 HD boxes if you sub to AAD, but not with the curent line of receivers MPEG 4 HD receivers.
