Can't record shows or teams on LCC from a search. Have to do it manually from the Guide.

I dropped my local channels a few months ago to save some money. My Local Channel Connector (LCC) works well, except for what I mentioned in the Subject line. My favorite teams only show satellite channels and sets them to record, so I have to delete them, find the games in the Guide, and record them on the OTA channels one at a time. Similarly, if I search for a series, only the local satellite channels show. I have to manually find the series in the Guide and record the series on the OTA channel instead.

I have reported this to DirecTV and get "update" emails once a week, but they don't say if they're working on this issue or the previous channel bug that I also reported.

I have rebooted my HR54 and redone my antenna setup with no luck. Does anyone else have this issue and hopefully found a fix? If they can show the OTA channels in the Guide, it shouldn't be much effort to show them in searches as well.

Since the LCC doesn't work on the HS17 Genie2 DTV may no longer support it, so it is doubtful if it will be fixed.  You should be able to setup series recording by pressing the record button twice.

I do record series by double clicking in the Guide, because I can't do it from a search. That doesn't work for my favorite sports teams because they're on different channels at different times.

I live alone and only have one TV, so I'm not interested in getting an HS17, which  would need a Genie2, and pay more for local channels again.

Would need a mini as the HS17 is the Genie2.

I guess that shows how little interest I have in getting new hardware and paying more money, lol!
