Information about USA channel numbering

ATSC/PSIP channels have two-part channel
numbers:

Major channel number (the “5” in
channel 5-1”)

Minor channel number (the “1” in
channel “5-1”)

In the United States, the major channel
number is usually the same for both analog
and digital channels. (It is equal to the NTSC
channel number for existing broadcasters.)
A minor channel number of 0 is used for a
broadcaster’s analog channel.

Example:

Original NTSC channels for Des Moines,
Iowa:
5, 8, 11, 13, 17

Possible NTSC + ATSC Channels for
Des Moines:
5-0, 8-0, 11-0, 13-0, 17-0 (channel numbers
for existing analog channels)

5-1, 5-2, 8-1, 8-2, 8-3, 8-4, 13-1 (channel
numbers for digital channels)

Using the CH+/- buttons

To use the CH+/- buttons:

Press CH+ or CH-. The TV cycles among all
available channels found (but skipping the
channels that are set to be skipped).

Using the number pad

Press the number buttons (0-9) and the dash
(-) button to go directly to that channel.

Note

The names of digital broadcasting channels are
automatically assigned, so cannot be assigned by
