Guide data

[Todd Wiedemann]

Hey all !

I'm using a Panasonic TU-HDS20 for my OTA/DirecTV HD receiver.

I get guide data for all OTA/D* channels /except/ the CBS58 family.

Is anyone out there getting guide data from the CBS58 family ? Am I doing something wrong ? JimHall ? http://www.milwaukeehdtv.org/ubb/wink.gif

Thanks for the help !

Todd.

Ditto... I have the same box and get the same results. What's the scoop?

I've got the RCA and I don't get anything anymore...used to but maybe it had something to do with the switch to the rebroadcast of HDNET and someone forgot to switch something.

What ver. of software is your STB operating on?

Thanks for replying, Jim.

It's ver 8.1, the latest update from DirecTV.

I have never received guide data, regardless of version.

I'm happy to change any settings or whatever you'd like to try.

On my E86 I get guide data for 58-2, but I don't even have 58-1 listed and I have never gotten any guide data for the 1-x channels.

Yes, my E86 acts the same way. I thought 58 didn't even *have* an HD channel (58-1) until I did a "Local Scan" and 1-* came up.

It's an odd setup. Similarly the DirecTV guide didn't provide the 10-2 or 10-5 channels and those didn't appear until my "Local Scan". (I couldn't figure out what "eagle's nest" everyone was so hot about.) heh heh

So, to stay on topic, my 1-* channels do NOT have any guide data, as well as my 10-2 and 10-5 channels. It appears the guide data comes from DirecTV. ??

Naw the guide data comes from the transmitting station not Directv for the local OTA's. I get guide data on 4-1 and all the 10's, just not getting it on 1-1 anymore.

The Hughes E86, Toshiba, and Mits do get an "Advanced Programming Guide" from DirecTV.

Directv sends out information that is as up-to-date as the newspaper guides.

Try going into the installation setup page and selecting "no dish" under the dish setup choice on the page.

The guide will change a bit for locals. In my experience with the E86, the APG from DirecTV supercedes the info sent from the locals.

This led to a problem for me in Madison. WHA DT 21-1 would become their analog channel instead of their digital. There was no way to see digital unless I manually typed in 20-1. This problem was corrected in a few weeks after the Hughes tech support called the back door of DirecTV's tech people.
