Channel 45-1 in Phoenix

Archived from groups: alt.tv.tech.hdtv (More info?)

Can anyone in the Phoenix area get channel 45-1? I can't, in SE
Chandler, nor can my dealer at I-10 and Ray, which is almost in spitting
distance of South Mountain.

It is the only thing keeping me from dropping locals from my DirecTV
subscription.

Yes.

I can't get 26-1 or 26-2, nor the channel guide for either.

Here is where things get weird. I can't get 45-1 (Phoenix UPN), but I
get its channel guide. I can get 18-1 (Tucson UPN), but I can't get its
channel guide.

<later>

However, by adding Tucson as my secondary area for OTA reception, and
rescanning for OTA channels, I now have its channel guide as well.
Thanks.

Interesting. My antenna is aimed at South Mountain, according to the
installer. (It's in the attic, and I haven't seen it.) I can't get
26-1 or 26-2, but I can get 18-1, which is a Tucson station.

Curiously, although I now have the guide for 18-1, it doesn't show up in
the "Search by Title" function. But I just realized that it might take
a bit of time for it to populate like when a new receiver is attached.
I'll keep checking it over the next few days.

I'm in Cooper Commons, BTW, at Riggs and Gilbert.

Today I noticed that 26.1 is gone and 45.1 & 45.2 are there instead
