Ralph,
We are a digital broadcaster, and with the several examples of consumer STBs
we have, to a unit each one requires a complete channel scan as the ONLY
way to enter a digital station. Some of the early ones will even wipe out
any previously discovered stations if they happen to be off air at the time.
Not very conducive to those who have to use an antenna rotor to tune in
different stations. However, an early generation flaw in the unit's
software, I grant.
Telling our digital viewers we are on UHF channel 55 is meaningless to them
since all the consumer will ever see is 23-1 and 23-2 as a channel number.
They will never see the number 55 anywhere, they cannot enter the number 55
(at least on the Samsung, Zenith, and Sony examples we have here) so why
advertise "Digital 55"?
Cheers,
John Shutt
