How to Add Local Off-Air Digital Channels
To add a local digital channel:
1. Press
MENU 6-1-5 to open the Local Channel Setup menu.
2. Use the
Scan Digital selection to add the local channels to the Program
Guide
automatically or select the Add DTV option on the Local Channel
Setup
menu. This opens the Add Local Digital Channel menu.
3. Enter the
Transmit Channel number for the channel you want to add. You
must enter two digits. For single digit numbers, place a zero in front of it.
Note: The Transmit Channel number and the broadcast Channel Number
are not necessarily the same.
The menu displays a signal strength bar. Adjust the aim of the TV antenna
until the bar is green, shows the strongest possible signal, and says
Locked.
The menu shows a
Channel Number in green if the receiver is getting
enough digital channel information via the off-air signal, in yellow if it is
not.
Note: Some digital channels do not broadcast all the time. You may need to
wait until the channel is being broadcast.
