OTA Chicago NBC, invalid guide data?

OTA NBC Chicago is fine... via my HR20s
I just tuned it in.

The HR10-250 doesn't use the guide data frequency mapping to get OTA
The HR20 does.


WBBM-DT Chicago, now that is a different story..

I guess it is time to go play with the rabbit ears. I live directly downtown and can see the antennas on both the Sears Tower and Hancock but am unable to keep my Zenith Silver something or another positioned so that I can receive all channels.

I have an easier time with the crappy antenna DirecTv gave us in our attic in Barrington (20ish miles a way).

Oh well.

That is the problem with directional, and UHF.

You may want to considering getting a different "omni-directional" UHF antenna.

Is that right about the HR10-250? I wasn't able to get 11-1 in NY on mine for almost 2 weeks until Wednesday, just like the HR20 owners, because of the guide data issues D* was having. I thought the only difference between the HR20 and HR10-250 was that the HR10-250 could do a scan of OTA stations and get a duplicate 11-1 without any guide data that allowed tuning of the station. The HR20 doesn't have that function.
