We're here to help, @Tjb1900.

In order for the channels that are broadcast over the air from your guide, we would need to remove the Local Channel Connector add on from your account.

In order to do this, we will be sending you a private message to get more information. You can view and respond to the private message in the Forum's Inbox.

Just disconnect the LCC from your Genie DVR and reset the Genie using the red button near the access card. The off-air channels will no longer be there.

Red button reset did not remove the LCC channels from the guide for me.  What's worse is that the antenna setup menu is now gone, so I can't remove them manually.  Guess I'll have to reconnect the LCC to get the menu to reappear, then remove all the broadcast channels.

 

Edit: Yep, that worked.  Once I plugged the LCC back into the USB port on the Genie, the antenna setup menu showed up and I was able to remove all the local channels.

Thank you the red button thing didn’t work for me either. I’ll do what you did hoping for the best!

The full path to remove over-the-air channels from the guide is:

 

Menu / Settings / Sat & Antenna / Over-the-Air Antenna Setup / Edit Antenna Channels / Remove All

 

Couple of notes:

  1. The "Sat & Antenna" menu above won't appear unless the LCC is plugged into the Genie's USB port.  That is, it will just read "Satellite" instead of "Sat & Antenna".
  2. I had to repeat this process on the main Genie and all Genie Minis

The local channels that are no longer in dispute and negotiations are settled were removed.  The channels that are have not gone off the air but are presently in dispute remain there.   For example in our area the  ATT-Nextstar dispute is settled so we have NBC and CW back.  Right now the ATT-Sinclair are discussing their contract so we may lose ABC but have not at this time so the alternate ABC channel still appears.
