View Full Version : channel 20 psip 5.1 for my hr20
Anyone know of a uhf digital channel 20 psip5-1 that i can program for use with my hr20. I used to use the zip code for jonesboro arkansas which downloaded this channel as a pbs station. The guide data would be incorrect but i was able to view cblt - cbc from canada ota. I recently got another hr20 and upon entering in thezip code found out this channel (pbs) is still uhf 20 but psip 19-1. Therefore the hr20 will not pick up cbc. I looked online yesterday and the only other place i found was boston ma. However they havea lot of duplicate channels as buffalo ny and the hr20 after 24 hrs starts getting confused and does not work properly. Any help is appreciated of a link to a site that lists all dgital channels. thanks
I miss the days when DirecTV receivers would use the local channels PSIP. All the Canadian channels had guide data back then. Anyway, I did a "Reset ALL" to the H20-100 and scanned them again as if I did a new setup of the receiver and 5.1 CBC Toronto comes in fine also CityTV Toronto but it still has the wrong guide data. It used to be so good till DirecTV messed with this. Buffalo is a great location for these OTA Canada channels although they normally have very little worth watching as they seem to broadcast all US programming most of the time. It's quite strange really.

Try 02494 - this would be the ABC station in Boston, WCVB, analog channel 5, digital 20.

Does your h20 scan or are you using a secondary zip code? IF so what is the zip code.

I used to use this zip code but is also uses a 4.1 for some channel in boston. Buffalo also has a 4.1 which is wivb cbs. After 24 hrs my cbs did not work and the channels were getting confused with the duplicate frequenices being picked up by my ota antenna.
Yes it scans and the ZIP is 14072 here as you probably know. I don't use the secondary ZIP at all although I have been told to try one for Erie as we can get some stations from there too.
