OTA channels replace Dish locals

[wammer23]

I have DishNetwork w/HD locals running through HDPVR, Sage version 6.5.7. After I enabled the DTV stations via a second tuner (AverMedia M780), the OTA stations have taken over in the guide. Instead of beind sperate (2 versions of locals) only one shows up and it runs through the Aver. I'd like to have them both show so I can record 2 shows or watch one/record one.

Any ideas?

I had the same issue with DirecTV. If it has the same call sign (I believe) it only shows up once in the list. I had OTA WTVJDT Ch 4-1 and DirecTV WTVJDT Ch 4. I think I mapped the DirecTV Ch 4 to WTVJ (same prog guide info) and that way it got in the Program Guide twice.

My memory might not be exact on this. I ended up getting three OTA HD tuners and no longer have the problem, so hope my memory is close enough to right to help you.

Sage does combine the channels in teh guide, but the Dish channels are still available for recording. You should be able to set up a manual recording on one show, then go to another OTA channel, and watch/record it there. the second one will probably use one of your dish tuners. Sage is actually quite smart on such things...
