I live in the Phoenix area, but am unable to get OTA from the Phoenix stations due to topography. I also subscribe to Cox, so I have set up the guide data with my zip code, and it corresponds to my Cox line up.

Now, amazingly enough, I am able to get some OTA stations from Tucson, over 100 miles away, but, when I run set up, it just leaves those channels as "to be announced". They have remained that way for days, and I assume they will never get guide data, since they are in another town.

Since there is no way to put in one zip code for cable, and a different one for OTA, am I out of luck getting the guide data I need?

Can you put in a zipcode of a location closer to Tucson, that still has the Cox cable service and lineup that you currently have?

That is a good suggestion, and one I need to experiment with. Thanks,

I found a zip, that allowed the guide to populate the Tucson HD's, and has the proper cable lineup for Phoenix, the guide data is missing a few days out for the OTA channels, but hopefully that is only temporary. I don't remember if the channels had data and then lost it before. We will see in a few days. Thanks for the suggestion.:)

Edit: Its working!!! I am getting guide data, now that I live in Florence AZ ;):up::up:
