Major channel number

In US, in most situations the major channel number is same for both analog and digital channels (It is equal to the NTSC channel number for existing broadcasters.)

In US, a minor channel number of zero is used for a broadcaster’s analog channel.

Channel Numbering Example

Original NTSC Channels for Des Moines:

5, 8, 11, 13, 17

Possible NTSC + ATSC Channels for Des Moines:

5-0, 8-0, 11-0, 13-0, 17-0 (channel numbers for existing analog channels)

5-1, 5-2, 8-1, 8-2, 8-3,8-4, 13-1 (channel numbers for digital channels)

Channel Selection

Using the Channel up/down buttons (CH+ or CH-)

Press the CH+ or CH- to cycle among available channels found (while the skipped channels can not be selected)

Using the direct select buttons (0-9 and dash buttons)

Press the number buttons (0-9)and the dash (-)button, and the unit goes to that channel.

For example, if you want to select channel 8-3, just key in ‘8’, ‘-’, ‘3’ on the remote control.(Be sure the period of two- press should be within 3 seconds)

Note:
