Information about USA channel numbering
•
The ATSC PSIP channel uses a two part
channel number which includes:
•
a major channel number
•
a minor channel number
•
In the US, in most locations the major
channel number is the same for both analog
and digital channels (It is equal to the NTSC
channel number for existing broadcasters.)
•
In the US, a minor channel number of zero is
used for a broadcaster's analog channel.
Note
You can use the Manual Channel Set Menu to
select a channel you want to view.
Note
If a channel label is provided on the signal from
the broadcasting station, the television displays
the short name for the DTV channel, even if you
didn’t set up a label for that channel.
Note
In some situations, virtual channel numbers do not
correspond to physical frequencies.
Note
Example: Channel 5-1. The “5” is the major
channel number and the “1” is the minor channel
number.
