When QAM programming is available, it is accessible only through QuickPlay. CAUTION: In certain areas, digitally broadcast ATSC signals may not be available. Under these circumstances, you will not be able to set up the TV tuner using the antenna. Instead, set up using your regular TV or cable TV wall jack.
