"Why does Dish 119 info fill up, but Dish 110 doesn't"?

To get a 7-Day Guide on Dish 110 and 119, press the SAT button on your remote. Highlight "Dish Package" and press "OK".
If you don't have both 110 and 119, then select the Dish Sat that you do have. Exit out of the menu and Press the Guide button.
Leave it sit on that channel for a few minutes.
The longer it sits, the more EPG will fill up, 7-Days max.

To get a 3-Day Guide on BEV, press the SAT button on your remote.
Highlight "BEV package"
If you don't have both 82 and 91, then select the BEV Sat that you do have.
Exit out of the menu and Press the Guide button.
Leave it sit on that channel for a few minutes.
The longer it sits, the more EPG will fill up, 2-3 Days max.

The EPG can NOT fill up if you've selected "All SAT" from the SAT LIST button.
Also, it can not fill the BEV EPG while watching Dish and vice-versa...that is just NOT possible, because the EPG fills GUIDE data ONLY from the provider you are watching.

To switch the EPG from displaying 3 hours to 1.5 hours of guide data, press the PLAY button while in the guide to toggle back and forth.
(This will also change it from 1.5 hours to 3 hours)
Exit guide, and re-enter it to see the changes.
