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) channel has a dash and second number after it (e.g., 21-1); an analog channel doesn’t (e.g., Ch 21).

Tip

If a digital and analog channel have the same primary channel number, tune to the analog channel by entering the analog channel number or entering the analog channel number and then a subchannel of “0.”

You can always use the channel up and down buttons on the remote control to change channels within the TV mode.

You may notice the size of the channel banner changes when you change channels. This is perfectly normal and occurs because analog (NTSC) broadcasts and digital (ATSC) broadcasts use different formats. Your HDTV can display both types and adjusts the picture accordingly.

If you wait too long before entering the subchannel, the TV tunes to the lowest subchannel.
