Anyone else notice that their stations are FINALLY broadcasting programming info?

downbeat · 2011-09-07, 02:44 AM

Not in Calgary. No program info on Citytv or Omni.

BDUsR2EVIL · 2011-09-07, 05:29 AM

Maybe it's due to the infomercials which are currently on all 3 channels, but I'm not receiving anything but the same old event number nonsense they've been broadcasting as long as I've had an HDTV (which admittedly hasn't been very long, but still)

edit: It's not due to the infomercials, currently OMNI news is on both OMNIs and Breakfast Television is on City, but my TV (Panasonic TC-L32X2) still only shows the station name with event numbers where the name of the program should be.

tvlurker · 2011-09-07, 10:20 AM

Only event numbers here in Ottawa this morning on all three channels.

El Gran Chico · 2011-09-07, 11:02 AM

Not sure where you are seeing this, dcorreia. Still "OMNI 1 HD, Event ..." in the PSIP.

Is there updated info on City's transmitter move back to the CN Tower? I read in a previous post an old estimate of sometime in October. Any newer info available?

I'm not having any success picking up their signal to date. The others off CN are working great (CBC english & french, CFTO, TVO).

roger1818 · 2012-12-17, 12:26 PM

^^^Is this all of Canada, or only repeaters of one station? If I can get more info, I will tell my contact at Rogers.

El Gran Chico · 2012-12-17, 01:02 PM

Roger, definitely in London and Toronto. Can't be sure of other cities but I don't see any reports of "It's fine here" either.

gzero · 2012-12-17, 04:24 PM

Missing programme information in Ottawa too.

s40 · 2012-12-18, 12:53 AM

Program information works on both Omni and City here in the Vancouver area. I tried a couple of hours ahead on both stations, and the listings were there.

El Gran Chico · 2012-12-18, 09:37 AM

Guide data back in Toronto this morning.

tvlurker · 2013-01-21, 08:40 AM

I think my contact at Rogers Broadcasting is the same as roger1818's, so I've sent him an email and let you know what I hear.

Bark64 · 2013-01-21, 04:44 PM

Thanks tvlurker. I just got home from work and they have both been fixed already. They are back on 20-1 and 69-1 respectively with psip program data. Thanks again.

micah · 2013-01-21, 04:49 PM
