Getting your HD Locals to Map Down

[psumattDE]

The HD locals on the 61.5 satellite (East Coast) have never mapped down properly. I've heard that this problem apparently has been fixed (at least for the Boston locals) - however my Philly stations still are not mapping down properly in the guide.

I have done Check Switch, rebooted - and I have "HD Priority" chosen in the HD channel setup of both my 622 and 211 receiver.

Are the Philly channels now mapping properly? Or does anyone know if this is still an issue???

I have NY LiL HD locals, also on 61.5. Not working for me either.

The Boston HD locals are NOT fixed. One afternoon about a month ago I discovered that the Boston HD locals WERE being mapped down. I knew this because our CBS station has gray bars on the side of programs not broadcast in widescreen. I was happy! Sorry to say that by that evening the HD locals were no longer being mapped down. I don't know what happened. It was just a brief time that they were working. Since then..only the SD locals are being remapped.

I turned on the sd fox out of NY tonight, went to the mapped down channel because it has been the sd since I got my 622. Tonight it as well as the abc, nbc and cbs HD's are all mapping down. Anyone else with 61.5 HD locals may want to check their receivers. What a nice surpise.

Okay, now the mapping is back on for the Boston HD locals! Lets hope this time they are permanent.
