TV Guide On Screen

[John Polulach]

I have an HD OTA set top box with TVGOS.  What Milwaukee area digital or analog channel currently transmits TV Guide programming info?  Thanks.

PBS, channel 10, carries the analog version.  CBS, channel 58.1, carries the digital version.  

If you use the digital version, please post your results.  My DTVPal DVR that only uses digital TVGOS doesn't show data for channels 4, 10, and 36 (and their subchannels).

Thanks,
Will

I received TV Guide info with my OTA converter set to receive ch 10 analog and ch 58.1 digital.  I received info for all channels (except for the "36 group") for a day or two...now "no programming info is available".  Weird.  J.P.

Which OTA converter are you using?

It's LG model LST-3410A, made a few years ago, nice OTA box that includes a DVR.

My understanding is that your box can only receive TVGOS via analog.  Channel 10 is your current source, then.  If it can only get analog TVGOS, you will be out of luck for any guide data after the transition without some work.

There's still speculation as to how it will work after the analog cutoff.  It might work like an old-school VCR, using time and channel for recording.  It might be able to use the TVGOS conversion feature of the Dish TR-40.  See the avsforum thread for more.

I have the TV Guide on screen guide built into my TV and it has stopped giving me updates. The TV is only 2 years old so I have the digital tuner. Has anyone else had tv guide problems recently? I reset all my settings and still got no new listings. This problem started last Wednesday.
