Transmit Channel Numbers
For information on local channel numbers, you can visit the National Association of
Broadcasters (NAB) web page at www.nab.org. On this web site, you can find a listing of
digital broadcast stations and their Transmit Channel numbers.
Note: Where Transmit Channel is displayed by the receiver, the NAB web page uses the

recommendations for over-the-air antenna types and pointing directions.
