How to Add Local Off-Air Digital Channels

Local Channel Setup

menu.

2. Use the

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

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.
