Using the TV’s Features

Digital or Analog TV Channels

A single off-air antenna can pick up both analog and digital channels. Digital channels can be made up of primary channels and subchannels.

Note: Subchannels (sometimes called minor channels) are channels associated with the primary channel (sometimes called the major channel). A primary channel may have just one subchannel or multiple subchannels.

Tip:

Use the channel banner to determine whether a channel is digital or analog. A digital (ATSC or QAM) channel has a dash and second number after it (e.g., 21-1); an analog channel (NTSC) doesn’t (e.g., Ch 21).
