i dont know what tv6 and tv 3 are, but i think it may be PBS, those channels
audio are AC3, and oyu will need an external ac3 decoder to listen to them

The PBS feeds on AMC3 have Dolby AC3 audio so you will need an FTA
receiver that has this capability and an AC3 Dolby decoder to get audio
from them.

There are not very many FTA receivers that can handle AC3 audio. I have a
Fortec Lifetime and there are a few others on the market.

You should be able to get audio from "Montana PBS" which is also on AMC3
with any FTA receiver.

If I accidentally tune across an HDTV channel, it will cause my Fortec to
lock up and require a "power off/on" reset to resume normal operation.
There is a PBS HDTV channel also on AMC3. I deleted it from my channel
list so I would not accidentally tune across it.

Good luck,

PON

My Coship 3188c locks up most the time on AC3 .I try to scan the sat around
the parameters of PBS.
