English 2 A GUIDE TO DIGITAL TELEVISION A Guide to Digital Channels There is a new numbering system for digital channels. Digital television virtual channels consist of a number followed by a dash and then another number. The first number is the major channel number specific to a broadcasting station. The second number is the minor channel number that allows these broadcasting stations to use the same major channel number for all analog and digital channels because digital channels can carry multiple programs simultaneously. The old analog channels are always referenced to minor channel number 0, for example 11-0. Digital Virtual Channel Number Physical Channel Number The channel number in parentheses represents the actual physical channel number of the transmitter used to broadcast the network programming in your region. Each physical channel number is mapped to one or more digital channel numbers. In the example above, digital channel number 11-1 is mapped to physical Channel 12 and tunes into channel 12. Some digital television stations may have only one virtual channel, others perhaps as many as six. So in the example above, the station using physical Channel 12 for digital television can have additional digital channels 11-2, 11-3, etc. How to input digital television channels: User Inputs Method 1: 11 - 3 Method 2: 113 Channel Displayed Channel 11 - 3 Channel 11 - 3 For single digit channels: User Inputs Method 3: 052 Method 4: 5-2 + Ent Channel Displayed Channel 5 - 2 Channel 5 - 2 Check your local listings for available digital television channels in your area. 6
