OTA HD locals NOT in online slingguide?

[jerryez]

My online slinguide does not list my HD locals. ie: 003-1,005-1, etc. It lists the sd and HD Dish locals. Anyone know how I can get them listed?

Am I the only one without OTA HD locals in my slinguide? I sent that comment plus many more during the beta, but Dish ignored them like they do comments sent on DVRs.

mine doesn't show the ota channels but I figured it was because I don't sub to locals

I subscribe to locals, yet most of my locals (OTA) are missing anyhow. It's difficult to see that those channels present are OTA and not Dish/satellite channels. For example, I see no yellow channels as OTA would appear in the DVR menu. One must look at the subchannel number, and realize that non -0 channels are OTA. Most subchannels are not listed at all.

I just scheduled a recording of Nature on my local PBS station channel 26-1. 26-0 showed up as Arthur no apparent reason. (26.3 is PBS Kids with Arthur on at that time; Dish does not offer that subchannel.) The scheduled recording is actually going to take place on on 26-0. I wonder what program I'l get? Seems rather buggy even today.

Has anybody scheduled a recording on the TV2 tuner? Is this even possible in dual mode?

My OTA locals do not show up in the guide, however I can set manual recordings to those channels.

All of mine show up now on the receivers that have L621. So do recordings on the external drive. Do not show on my receiver with L618

I scheduled a recording on channel 26.1 according to the Sling Guide. 4 timers were created, one for each of the subchannels that exist on my local OTA PBS affiliate, WETA. The one I wanted, the HD channel 26.1, was silently converted to a timer for 26.0 (Dish SD local), and that recorded Nature. The other timers never recorded anything because (I suppose) the guide on the actual receiver did not have entries for the program, Nature.

Remote programming via Slingguide is rather seriously messed up when it comes to OTA locals. Perhaps we should be glad (at this point in time) when OTA locals don't show up in the guide at all.

This morning, when I went into my slingguide, my HD locals were added. Thank you Dish, if you read this thread. Otherwise, thanks anyway. Now my sling guide is much more useful.
