As an update to my post of 4-24-09, after many phone calls to Panasonic, I finally received a telephone call and an actual personal visit to my home from a "knowledgeable" TDS Telecom representative who looked at my TV and listened to my explanation of what I thought was wrong. To make a long story short, the rep told me that the local CBS station was picked up via a satellite feed and not off the air as I thought, but he would look into why the
TVGOs information was not being taken off the digital signal and being sent down our analog cable in the VBI. It took about three weeks total but I have now have a constant 8 days of
TVGOs information. A tip of the hat to TDS Telecom for making it possible.
And to those still struggling, this proves to me that there is no reason why a cable company cannot take the
TVGOs information that is in the DTVCC Transport
Channel of a digital signal and convert it to the proper analog signal and insert it in the VBI if they want to. If they are telling you different, I do not think I would believe them.
