Digital or Analog TV Channels
A single off-air antenna can pick up both analog and digital channels. Digital channels can be
made up of primary channels and subchannels.
Note: Subchannels (sometimes called minor channels) are channels associated with the
Primary channel (sometimes called the major channel). A primary channel may have just
one subchannel or multiple subchannels.

Notes:
You can always use the channel up and down buttons on the
remote control to change channels within the TV mode.
You may notice the size of the channel banner changes when you
change channels. This is perfectly normal and occurs because
analog (NTSC) broadcasts and digital (ATSC) broadcasts use
different formats. Your HDTV can display both types and adjusts
the picture accordingly.
If you wait too long before entering the subchannel, the TV tunes
to the lowest subchannel.
