To improve digital channel signal strength on a Toshiba 24L4200U, you can:

1. Check the antenna configuration.
2. Clear all channels from the channel list and reprogram them into memory.
3. If the issue continues, perform a Reset Factory Defaults procedure.
4. Ensure the signal reception is strong and standard, as weak or non-standard signals can cause problems.
5. Try connecting the antenna directly to the TV, bypassing any splitters, to see if signal improves.

If these steps do not help, check the antenna type, placement, and if it is properly grounded.
