Discussion:does Anyone Receive Non-dma Ota Guide Info?

[Eagles]

Can't quite seem to get a yes or no answer to this. With the implementation of L215 it seemed some who had the ability to receive OTA out of market stations were getting the EPG to populate for these channels similar to the way the 811 does. My DMA is the DC locals. I can get Baltimore, Salisbury, Richmond and Norfolk via off air antenna, however the guide does not populate for these channels. Anybody out there getting NON-DMA guide info? According to Dish CSR, I should be getting the NON-DMA EPG to populate, but considering the source, I have my doubts.

I am in the Nashville DMA and subscribe to Nashville LILs. Since L215, and still under L218, I get guide data for the Huntsville, AL OTA channels which I receive but which are outside my DMA (except for PBS, and Huntsville PBS broadcasts regular PBS programming on subchannel -02). I receive all the Huntsville stations OTA. I do not receive guide data for the two Chattanooga OTA stations (CBS and NBC) which I can receive. However, Chattanooga LILs are on a satellite which I do not receive which may be the reason. Huntsville, AL is on 119 and Nashville is on 110, both of which I receive.

I am in the San Francisco DMA and subscribe to San Francisco LIL. I have guide data for one subchannel of each Sacramento, CA station that I get OTA. I did have to re-boot after adding in the Sacramento stations in order for them to appear in the guide and have guide data.

I live near Sacramento and was getting San Fran PBS (KQED) guide data, but with 218 no longer am getting the guide data though I can still access the channel.

I'm located in the Fort Lauderdale area (Miami Stations) and with L215 or with the "emergency fix" OTA subscription and L218, I get guide info for all of the -1 Miami stations plus 4 of the West Palm Beach stations that I watch. We do not get info for any of the -2, -3, -4 sub channels used by PBS.

Eagles, it sounds like all of your non-DMA channels are on the 105 SuperDish. I think that is the source of your problem. I'm a Wash DC DMA'er also, and I can't get EPG from Baltimore although I am grade A for them OTA wise. I was able to once get the UPN affiliate from Lancaster PA. (on the 110 sat). I did get EPG info for that Out of Market channel.

I think that if you get a big ugly 105 Super Dish installed, you will get all of your EPG info. (I don't know if the Salisbury stations are on Dish though).
