Using your TV

In the U.S., the major channel number is usually the same for both analog and digital channels (equal to the NTSC channel number for existing broadcasters). A minor channel number of zero (0) is used for a broadcaster’s analog channel.

For example, if the original NTSC channels for an area are 5, 8, 11, and 13, the NTSC + ATSC channels for that area would probably be the following:

•Existing analog channels—5.0, 8.0, 11.0, and 13.0.

•Digital channels (possible)—5.1, 5.2, 8.1, 8.2, 8.3, 8.4, 13.1, 13.2, and so on.
