What You Need To Know
• Visit www.antennaweb.org to get help deciding what type of
antenna to use to receive the local digital channels available to
you. By entering where you live, this mapping program tells you
what local analog and digital stations are available using a certain
antenna.
• As you change channels, look at the top right corner of the screen
to see what type of channel you’re viewing. Digital channels
display a D as part of the channel, such as D Ch 29.1, while
analog channels display an A as part of the channel, such as
A Ch 9. Go to page 16 for more channel information.
(The location of the jack varies on your TV's
model.)
