Premium Channel West HD "Showings"

[NCMAT]

I ran into a problem today trying to find a West Coast showing of a particular movie.

Press Guide, move to a premium HD channel like HBO HD 501, press Info on a particular movie then press Info and then choose Showings.

You get a list that includes Showings on HBO East SD, East HD and West SD but HBO West HD is not listed.

Is this a bug or am I overlooking something?

I like to schedule recordings using the West HD feed because the MPEG2 HBO East HD and Showtime East HD feeds use more disk space than the MPEG4 West feeds

This happens on both my HR20-100 NR and HR20-700 CE.

So why don't you go to the HBO West HD channel in the guide and press Info to get the whole list of movies for HBO West HD? Sounds to me like you're doing too much work. :)

Because it doesn't work. The only West HD showing that shows up is the show that you pressed Info on. The rest are either HBO East HD, HBO East SD or HBO West SD. HBO West HD doesn't show up.

OK, here's an easy scenario. Tune to 504 HBO East HD. Press Info, then More Info, then Showings. No future HD West coast showings are listed to record.

There seems to be a problem with the HR20 not finding programs on the new MPEG4 HD channels. I reported this in another thread.

You need to go in the guide to 504 and then left arrow into the 504 and then press info for it to work.

That simply brings up a list of all the upcoming programs on that channel, same as scrolling right through the guide. What I want is a list of future showings of the movie I'm watching. Pressing Info, More Info, Showings gives me that but the HD West showings are missing.
