Can't get SD Locals to Show Up

[nn8l]

Hello. I have an HR20-700 and an HR21-100 and I am in the Traverse City/Cadillac DMA. When I go to Menu > Parental, Fav's & Setup > Favorite Channels > Edit Settings > Channels I Get - I can see the SD channels for everything except my locals. The locals show for example: 7 A3 Traverse City 07 WPBN...

All of the nationals show the HD and SD duplicates. This happens on both the HR20 and the HR21. Yes, I have Show SD Duplicates on through the Menu > Parental, Fav's & Setup > System Setup > Display

Any ideas?

Thanks

Yes.

You are in what was a 72.5 (second dish) market. The SD locals come from the 72.5 slot. The locals you currently get are all from the 99/103 slots. Some may be HD, some may be HD downconverted to SD depending on your receiver.

The only way to get the old SD locals back is to install a second 18" dish, connect it to a WB68 on the proper flexport and set all the receivers for the appropriate slimline + 72.5.

However, this will be a short term fix as programming will cease to exist on the 72.5 in the relative near future.
