Hey there Ashley,
All programming the digital converter box means is you need to have it
scan for channels periodically. This scan checks the frequencies on
which digital TV is broadcast and updates the list of channels on your
box. That way, when you use the channel up and down buttons on the
remote, your box only goes to channels it knows actually exist. It's the
same function that tv sets have had for quite a while now, only it does
it with digital frequencies instead of analog ones.
As for how to do it, that varies from box to box. There will be a button
on the box or the remote, or else it will be in the settings menu of the
box. It's not hard to do. If you know your specific make and model of
box, email me privately and I can help you program it. In general,
though, You just tell it you want to perform a scan, then wait a few
minutes for it to do it. There's no fancy programming involved. Just
make sure you have your antenna connected and placed properly before you
do the scan because if you can't receive a signal you obviously won't be
able to scan for valid channels.
Make sure you perform a scan on June 13 to pick up new digital channels.
Then do it again as often as you believe necessary. Probably once a
month is more than enough. Even every few months would probably do. You
may want to do it a little more often for the first few months after the
digital conversion because there might be new channels adding digital
ability. They should have done already if they were going to, but it
could happen.
Let me know if I can be of further assistance.
Joe
