Just curious what HDTVs or OTA set top boxes typically display for channel
numbers, and where those numbers come from if showing the related analog
channel number instead of the actual digital channel? I just found an FCC
list today showing the actual digital broadcast channels.
I have a Samsung SIR-T351 set top box which only receives digital
channels. What it displays for digital channel numbers mostly correspond
to the channel of the related analog counterpart rather than the actual
digital channel. For example what displays as digital channel 5-1 is
related to analog channel 5, but the digital is actually broadcast on
channel 29. If I punch either 05 or 29 into the remote, it goes to what
is displayed as channel 5-1.
The only ones that do not seem to correspond to their analog channels are
1-1 (analog 26, actual channel 27) and 1-2 (which might be analog 28).
Which brings up another question. There are 6 channels 38-1 through 38-6
(related to analog 38). Do they all broadcast on the same digital channel
43, or different actual channels?
