Re: TV Stations that transmit "TV Guide"

I purchased a Sony DHG-HDD500 HDTV Tuner/HD recorder combination on Wednesday. It is connected to an outside antenna (through a 12 dB line amplifier) After I set it up I had access to 16 analog and 24 digital channels. I followed the on-screen information for setting up the "TV Guide" but have not received the "TV Guide" yet (the set has been plugged in for over 36 hours).

I checked with Sony, this set receives the "TV Guide" from an analog station. The antenna is oriented for maximum signal strength for the digital channels. I tried to find out which analog stations are transmitting the "TV Guide" (and Guide Plus Gold) code in my area (zip code: 32819). The people I have talked to (including two local TV station 'engineers') were not aware of any stations that transmitted the code.

I know that there is or used to be a TV station in my reception area that transmitted the code since I used to receive them on my Philips TV "Guide Plus" menu screen until about 6 months ago.

Any help would be appreciated.
Your are in the middle of Orland, you should have no problem getting the guide. Go through the set up and check back a day later.....

visit avs forum for detailed discussions on that unit.

Its a fantastic unit, you will love it...once you get it set up.
