Why isn't there guide info for CBS 1-1 OTA?

I just purchased the LG LST-3410A HD DVR and unfortunately it won't pull in 58-1, only 1-1 - yet it's guide lists the programming for 58-1 but not 1-1.  I can record 1-1 but because of the lack of guide info for 1-1 I cannot set it to record in advance. :(  Thus, when the three CSI's start this fall I concievably won't be able to set this DVR to record if I'm going to be away from home those evenings... that sucks.  So why isn't there guide info for CBS 1-1 OTA?  Will there be in time for the upcoming fall TV season?  Who can I contact at CBS to hopefully get this resolved?

On a sidenote, my Samsung T-360 receives the 58-1 signal but not the 1-1.  I wish these two STBs worked the opposite way for CBS. ;)

I don't know.  4-1 and 12-1 send it out, you would think 1-1 would follow suit.  Hopefully they will get the Dolby Digital 5.1 going soon also.

I emailed WDJT to ask them to include their programming for the guide on channel 1-1.  Will update if I hear back.

Argh!  Looks like 18-1 and 24-1 don't provide guide info either. :mad:

In the channel edit setup screen in the TV Guide section there you can change the channel numbers for the channels using the numeric keypad (I changed 58-1 to 1-1 and the analog 18 and 24 to 18-1 and 24-1 assuming that they are simulcasting most of the time.)  It's been working for me for a while that way.

Interesting, I'll have to give that a try.  Will report back soon.

A big thank you to MrMike!  I didn't believe it was possible but you knew what you were talking about.  This is great!  I was concerned I wouldn't be able to preprogram the 3 CSI's this fall but now that shouldn't be a problem.  Thanks again! :)
