Local CBS station is not showing on my Satellite

Local CBS channel isn’t showing up in the guide . There are no tegna or nexstar disputes in my area. Just got it installed today what could it be?

It takes 24-48 hours for the entire guide to be downloaded from the sats, but there should be a few hours worth showing. Even if there is a dispute it doesn't effect the guide data.

New install, or if you've unplugged your box for a few minutes where it dumps the data, it may take 24-48hrs for all the guide data to download from the satellite. Should be able to go directly to the channel by putting in the number though.

Otherwise, I would check to verify what exact locals you should be receiving.
