Hi,
Ok, this is probably a dumb question but how the heck do I do it?
For instance, I have a VIP211k with a built in ATSC tuner.
I use it to tune in the local sub-channels.
When using me ~TV~, tuner and remote, the remote has a dash button on it. So I can punch in something like, 50-1 or 50-4 and it goes to those sub-channels.
If I just punch in 50, it goes to the main channel.
But I can not, for the life of me, figure out how to do the same thing using my 20.0 remote and the VIP211k built-in tuner. There is no dash or decimal buttons on the 20.0 remote.
I can enter 50 and that works just fine but there is absolutely nothing I can find that will let me directly enter a sub-channel number..
The ONLY way I can find to do it is bring up the program guide then navigate up and down until I get to the channel I want then select it.
That sure is a clumsy way to change channels!
In the manual there is something about changing your local channels to show up in the list above #100, I think it says it will give them a four digit number instead of the defaults.
But I can not find that in the setup. I think the tuner firmware has been changed since that manual was printed.
Is that no longer an option?
It seems to me that the ability to tune in ATSC sub-channels was an afterthought, that they really consider that people might want to watch non-satellite channels too.
If it can't be done, oh well. Not a deal breaker. But it would be nice.
Thanks!
