No locals in guide in Philips DirecTivo

[ScottBA]

Has anyone seen this:

I have 3 receivers at home...my locals display on two of those...my cheapo RCA basic receiver and my Samsung HD receiver. However, they do not show up on the Philips 704 DirecTivo that I just bought. It sees all 3 Satellites just fine. I activated the unit & subscribed to the $4.99 Tivo service. All other channels come up fine...just not the locals.

Any ideas?

Give it a few hours ... did you mod the receiver at all?

Nope...receiver was straight out of the box. I've had it hooked up for over a day now...still nothing.

First go into setup and restart the unit, if that fails you, well you could even do this first, call DirecTV and ask them to hit your box again. Maybe the mirror failed when you activated.

Well...I came home from work yesterday and the locals magically appeared. No idea why it took 2 days for them to show up, but they are there. Thanks for the help/ideas!
