OTA Channel Guide - will it ever happen?

[kc99]

Way back when I got the 811 in February this year, a DishNet Tech told me that the OTA channel guides would be working sometime in March. I was told by another rep that it was going to just show programming for prime time shows. I swear I even saw this back in March/April - was I dreaming?

Is this OTA programming guide for the 811 ever going to occur?

They're still saying "soon" - no idea what the CSR was smoking, March was never in the realm of possibility.

March 2005 maybe?

That is true, March 2005 does seem realistic. A bit rushed, but realistic.

I wonder they will port this over to the Dish 6000?

Probably not since in DISH's mind the 6000 is now outdated and the 811 is the stand alone HD receiver to have. When I had DISH to me the 6000 was the better HD receiver.
