Channel and Program Tuning

Channel and Program tuning in digital television differs from conventional television. With DTV, many programs can exist within a single 6 MHz channel. These channels behave as sub-channels within a single channel. When tuning to a digital channel, the unit will also tune to a program and will indicate the channel and program in the on-screen Channel Banner display.

In order to select channels properly, Auto program must be performed. (p. 26-27)
