Have my ant connected to my 211 receiver. Up until last night all I saw in the tv guide for the locals was "digital service" but last night I saw the principle (x.1) channels had the programing info available. The secondary digital channels (x.2) still have nothing.
Anyone have an idea why I'm now able to see prgm info in the tv guide section other than possibly Dish is starting to offer HD prgming in the Portland area?

Dish provides guide data by linking the analog master channel to the digital in most cases. In some limited cases they are also now rolling out other subchannels, but it is not a priority since most 2,3... subchannels are music or weather.

Mickey,
Are you picking up the locals via an Antenna or using dn's rebroadcast over their HD locals package?

Locals via ant. That's why I was surprise to see program info starting to show up on Dish receiver. Yesterday noticed more local prgm info showing up and now also see a list for Locals I don't recall before. Looks like all local prgm is showing except for PBS and the sub channel prgm.
As I thought earlier, maybe Dish is about ready to start offering Local digital broadcasts.
Just wondering if any others are seeing same or sim local prgm info with OTA hookup to Dish receiver even if not offered or subscribing in their area.

Just ran across a new channel list and see the 4 major networks in Portland showing up on ch 6420-6423. Must have gone on-line within the last couple weeks or at least are in prep for going on-line.
Thank that explans the reason I now see programing info Portland even though I actually receiving the same via an ant.
