Dish & OTA channel changing

[abrenchley]

I have the Dish Vip 211 receiver and OTA hooked up to the 211 to use the digital tuner (get my locals in digital). The SD output of the 211 goes to the TiVo. The TiVo guide shows multiple listings for each channel. Unfortunately, when the TiVo tries to command the 211 to use the Antenna channel, I get a black screen. However, if I change the channel with the satellite remote, the channel comes in perfect. I think the tivo is not sending the right channel ( "011" instead of "011-01" ). Is there any way to manually change how the tivo tries to dial a specific channel (only needs to be done for a few channels)?

I got it to work. For anyone who wishes to do something similar, the trick is to go into the "Local Channels" menu in the ViP 211 and disable "Sat Locals". when the 211 receives a command to go to a channel ( like "011" ) from the Tivo, it will go to the closest thing it has ( like "011-01" ), which if you have "Sat Locals" disabled, should be your digital locals from the antenna.
