NOTE: the DtS860 requires the actual Rf Channel setting, not the virtual channel number.
Most broadcasters maintain their analog channel identity by utilizing the new digital channel’s PSIP (Program
and System Information Protocol) feature. It may also be referred to as the “tune to” (NAB) or as a “virtual”
channel. Digital TV’s along with digital demodulators such as Drake's DAV860 use the virtual channel number to
tune to the particular program that in most cases is transmitted over a completely different channel number. This
is not the case with the DTS860. To find the actual RF channel, use the following website: www.antennaweb.org
