< The 232-ATSC 4K channel status is split into Major Channel and Minor Channel sections. The Minor Channel will always be 000 for analog channels. The Minor Channel status will display “F00” if the Major channel is a special “one-part” digital channel. Also, as one-part channels can go higher than 999, the Minor status will indicate how many thousands (up to 63) should be added to the Major number. -

Set the first unit in the RS-232 chain to the highest Unit#, then wire in sequence to the last tuner in the chain.

The next tuner in the chain does the same, and so on. -
