One of the first things I triedScott in FL said:Have you tried resetting your receiver? Not sure if you have a converter box, tv with ATSC tuner, or what. but the first thing I would do is perform a reset. When in doubt, unplug for 15 seconds and plug it back in again (what the Dutch call a "Belgian boot").
Good luck!
Is that happening with all of your HR20-700 units?fluffybear said:I just walked in and flipped on the TV and noticed that my -1 OTA channels from the big 4 (ABC, CBS, Fox, NBC) are all missing from my guide. I have -1 OTA channels for all the major indies & PBS stations in the Atlanta market just none from the Big 4!
For the record, the digital sub channels on those stations (i.e 2-2, 11-2, etc.) are all showing up okay and can be tuned to without any problem.
Doing it on all receivers!dettxw said:Is that happening with all of your HR20-700 units?
Do they still tune the stations?
My bet is that the guide problem will fix itself.

Go figure!

I would agree except this problem only affected the big 4 and did not effect any of their sub channels.Jim5506 said:Possible a station problem.
How on earth could the stations affect the -1 OTA setup of your IRD? I would guess it was a D* issue and apparently has been fixed.Jim5506 said:Possible a station problem.
I've thought about this a bit more, and it might be similar to how some Direct-to-Home satellite services provide their EPG (Electronic Program Guide). I'm sure Direct TV and Dish use their own service, but in Europe where you can have different channels uplinked to different satellites by different uplink providers, the EPG is sometimes provided by a separate service. This is not the case with Sky, but is with some of the European services on Astra and Hotbird. You send your program info to the service weeks in advance, they put in in the correct format, and send the data back to the uplinker to be transmitted to the satellite along with the program material itself. This data combines with all the other channel's data, and make up the EPG.fluffybear said:I would agree except this problem only affected the big 4 and did not effect any of their sub channels.
