Remote Control Local Channel Question

[max_jack]

Ok, I have gotten OTA local channels, but I don't know how to access them without using the guide..... the channels are 12-01; 12-02 and 12-03, etc. How can I access these channels directly from the remote.....thanks!

To access your local OTA channels just type the 5 digit number.

01201
01202
01203

etc.

THANKS! Knew it must be something simple that I was missing!

I think that all you have to do is enter it in a 5-digit format - leading zero.

For example, 12-03 would be 01203.

EDIT: Beaten to the punch by a fellow Coloradoan.

Leading zero

A leading zero on the channel number is sufficient if no analogs defined. When we get locals into local (LIL) then you need to add the subchannel to get digital directly. Subchannels require 3 digits first. Three digits required on 811, I think, but it has either LIR or analog and no off.

04 before LIL 0041 after.
