Understanding US channel numbering
Most digital TV channels have more than one channel. The main channel carries the signal
for the main TV program. The sub-channels carry signals for additional or alternate
programming, such as a radio or news broadcast.
For example, if the main channel number is 8, the sub-channel number might be 8-1, 8-2, or
8-3.
To select a sub-channel:
1
Press the number buttons for the main channel (for example 8).
2
Press the
•
button, then press the sub-channel button (for example 1).
