HDPVR Guide Choices for Dish?

[HuMan321]

What guide data selection have you used when setting up a HDPVR with Dish Network? I believe there were 4 choices and I chose the guide from USA. It brought in tons of channels which I manually unselected. I was wondering if I should have chose a different option, but because I spent alot of time manually removing channels I am hesitant to experiment.

I had to do the same thing...there were tons of channels i did not get...but i just removed them all...so now the guide only shows the channels in my dish package.

Also, as new channels get added to dish...they will automatically show up in your guide. That caused me problems as my usb-uirt would attempt to change to a channel that just showed up...and i did not get...and my STB would be stuck.

To correct, there is an option in Sage setup under "Detailed Setup/Customize" called "Automatically Enabled newly added channels to EPG"...something like that. I disabled.

Just FYI.

Thank You! That is very helpful. At least I didn't waste a bunch of time then
