Multiple EPG lineup's with Dish Netwok

[turak]

I'm running into an old problem that a lot of people have. How do you set up different channel lineup's for different sources? I recently moved to a new city and switched to dish network. When I was using comcast with firewire for HD, I was able to put in the zipcode for a neighboring city to have a different channel line up. Now I live in Miami and I'm using dish network. I tried putting in a zip code that google tells me is Fort Lauderdale, but it still comes up with DISH - Miami. It seems that channel lineups in the same city, but with different zip codes are still linked. I'm sure there has to be other people that have both a R5000-HD tuner and a SD receiver that require two different channel lists. Why has this issue been ignored for so long by the developers?

After a few more hours spent searching through the forums, the only solution I can come up with is to use XMLTV for one of my sources. Is this what other people are doing to be able to enable channels on one receiver and not on another if they can't find a matching lineup with a different name (DISH - Miami) by entering a zip code from another city?

How many do you need? I use Dish Network USA and Dish Network Cedar Rapids (or whatever they call my local) to get two different Dish lineups. That does everything I need, it allows me to have one with the HDs enabled and one without.

Are you able to have your local's with Dish - USA? That would certainly solve my issue, but I assumed that Dish - USA would not include the local network's.

I use OTA for my locals, but IIRC they're in there, just in the 9000's, instead of mapped to the "normal" slots.

Thanks for the tip. They weren't in there, but I was able to add them into the lineup. Looks like this should work for me. Thanks alot.
