Hi,
My reception is fine for the local hd stations in Vancouver. However, I'm getting "no data available" for the guide though. I'm not sure if there is a problem with the guide, or if there is something wrong with my windows media 7. I re-ran Peter Near's hack from ATSCCanada.zip (EnableATSCandQAM.bat) but that didn't change anything.

Are other people in Van having guide problems?

thanks

He's talking about the Windows Media Center guide.

Ah... There is no Media Center in my Win XP, so no Guide for me, just random flipping through. Like they say in commercials - "one less decision to make" ...
With mere 6 channels (excluding #26 francophone), and 10.1 void of interesting content, and 42.1 having less than 50% of English programming, it's easy to remember time for news or serials on the remaining 4.

I recently dumped Shaw Cable and ran the 7MC TV setup for OTA only. Like you, I'm in N.Van. and use Peter Near's hack to enable ATSC in Canada.

Using a North Van postal code, I had listings for every analog channel except CHNM. I had to add both analog and digital 42 and 42.1. But I really wanted the guide listing. I submitted a problem report using the EPG Guide Feedback Form on the Green Button.

Finally, I decided to use the 98226 zipcode for Bellingham. I got all the listings, including CHNM, but no signal on 42.1. WTF? I had to disable 42.1 and then add the channel again in order to get it working.

I didn't have to, but if you can't get any channels or listings then you might want to reset Media Center
