If you connect to an antenna
Any DTV programs that are broadcast in your area can be received for
free through an antenna connection.
Contact your local content provider or your local electronics retailer if
you are unsure about what HDTV programs are available in your area.
Broadcasters are transitioning from analog to digital TV. This means that
a given broadcaster can have channels available either in analog or in
digital, or both analog and digital at the same time.
The TV produces stereo sound only if a stereo signal is broadcast.
If you connect to a cable
When your TV is connected to the cable socket, you might receive free
digital and high defi nition programs (depending on your cable provider).
The channel number for digital and high defi nition channels includes a
dot “•”. For example, 11.1, 46.30, 108.201. Contact your cable provider
for more information.
If you connect to a DBS (Direct Broadcast Satellite)
There are two main DBS systems: DirecTV and DishNetwork. These
systems require a separate, proprietary set-top box to decode signals
and send them to the TV. The set-top box contains a digital TV tuner for
receiving off-air digital broadcasts.
Contact your local DBS provider for more information about the
connections and the TV channels.
