    6000 Quide Question

    That's a bummer. Another peculiarity with the 6000 is this. When I switch to a local digital channel, I can't get a signal. So, I switch to a HD channel i.e HB0-HD then switch back to the local digital channel and I get a signal. Does anybody else have this problem...I can't figure out how...
