Transmit Channel Numbers

For information on local channel numbers, you can visit the National Association of
Broadcasters (NAB) web page at www.nab.org. On this web site, you can find a listing of
digital broadcast stations and their Transmit Channel numbers.
Note: Where Transmit Channel is displayed by the receiver, the NAB web page uses the
term RF Channel. These terms mean the same thing.
Another good source of local channel information is available from the Consumer
Electronics Association (CEA) web page at: www.antennaweb.org. This website provides
recommendations for over-the-air antenna types and pointing directions.
About Over-the-Air TV Broadcasts
Over-the-air TV signals are broadcast from stations on the ground, while satellite TV
signals are broadcast from satellites in space. You receive OTA signals using an indoor or
outdoor antenna instead of a satellite dish. You are likely familiar with analog TV signals;
these were used to broadcast TV for years. New digital over-the-air TV signals are
broadcast and received in the same way. Digital over-the-air broadcasting uses advanced
technology to deliver excellent picture quality and CD-quality sound. However, digital OTA
signal reception (like analog OTA reception) depends on several things:
• The distance between the broadcast station and your home (the farther away the
station, the weaker the signal);
