Cyber
Question:
How
do I manually program in digital stations?
Answer:
Determine
the type of antenna you're using and the locations of digital over-the-air broadcasters
in your area.
Adjust
the direction of your antenna accordingly to optimize reception of digital stations.
Run
the auto program (channel memorization process) feature on your TV to map over-the-air
digital channels into its tuner.
If
you change your antenna's position to receive additional digital channels, repeat
step 3 to update the mapping.
Note
that manual addition of digital stations isn't possible due to the required
mapping process.
Consider
using an antenna capable of receiving digital channels from multiple directions
to minimize adjustments and repeated channel memorization processes.
