If you are having difficulty tuning to a digital channel that you know exists, what may help is to disable acqusition of Digital Channel Info. However, you should know that this will affect the acquisition of ratings, program titles, and channels names for digital channels. It may also affect the ability to tune to the correct channel from the Guide (for a Watch or Record timer, for example). Whenever possible you should set the Digital Channel Info to be acquired. Disabling Digital Channel Information does not affect the acquisition of GUIDE Plus+ channel listings.

Use OK to add/remove the check. A check will acquire the Digital Ch. Info for this input. No check will not acquire it.

Information appears on the screen to assist you in understanding your menu selection. To the right of the highlighted menu item is a display area that might provide text for the item selected along with any submenu items. In addition, a menu path appears at the top of the screen to let you know where you are in the menu system. At the bottom of the screen are two lines of help text that explain the currently highlighted item.
