I feel stupid, but I am having a hard time figuring out how to tune the digital channels on my Pioneer 1120 Plasma. For the last couple of years, I have been using cable, but due to a fight between Sinclair Broadcasting and Mediacom, I decided to set up an antenna for OTA reception.
To get the complete set of local digital stations, I need to rotate my antenna to two different positions. I don't have any problems using the Channel setup commaond for Ant. A to acquire the stations in one position, but I can't figure out how to add the channels that I can receive in the other antenna position. If I enter the channel that the station is broadcast on (e.g. channel 16 because channel 17.1 is broadcast on channel 16), I get snow. Using the add channel command there is no way to enter decimal places, so I can't add channel 17.1. If I go into tv watching mode, I can switch the cannel to channels with decimal places, but the TV won't go to those channels unless a digital channel is mapped to t using the Channel setup procedure. Similarly, if I go to the assigned frequency, I only pick up snow.
So the only way I can figure out to get all of the channels available with my antenna is to rotate the antenna to the appropriate direction and run through channel setup. If I want to watch a different channel, I have to rotate the antenna and run channel setup again. This is suboptimal because it takes quite a while to run channel setup. I would really like to get all of the channels mapped, and then be able to watch the channel by simply rotating the antenna.
