I think I know the answer to this Q, but I'm going to ask it anyway: Since my OTA channels now appear in my programming guide, is there a way to enter the the OTA channel number on the remote, so that I don't have to scroll to it in the programming guide and choose it that way?

For channel 18-1, for example, if I enter 181, it goes to dish channel 181, and if I enter 1801, it goes to 180 (at least, for a few seconds)

018001.

Why not just add it to your favorites?

01801.
Or, 0181 and press enter.

Yep, too many binary digits this morning. Good thing he did not ask about 11-1. :lol:

01801.
Or, 0181 and press enter to change immediately or wait a few seconds and it will change.

Well this is a strange morning! Notice how I responded to your post before you made it?

I use direct tuning for my local OTA's frequently because it is faster than using the Favorites from the EPG. The key is to press the "0" digit first.

Sorry - I replied to you instead of the OP.
