I receive Dish locals on my 722, as well as over-the-air channels.

KOVR appears as Dish local 13 KOVR. Until recently, I also received KOVR OTA as 13-01 KOVR. This channel was erratic, but it did have consistent guide data (show descriptions), even if the signal sometimes was flakey.

Now this OTA channel is appearing as 13.01 CBS-1. And now, the guide description says only "Digital programming" -- there isn't any breakdown of shows at all in the guide. When I tune to the channel, I see the same shows that appear on the Dish local KOVR 13.

Since the guide data is missing, none of the shows on this channel will record automatically.

Anyone have any ideas about where to go to get this fixed?

As I replied in a private email, we are in the process of replacing some equipment and the guide for OTA has been temporarily shut down. The new guide service will be the same automated service we use on KMAX.

Watch AVSForum for updates. This was mentioned a couple of weeks ago.
