Good question and a valid one. Most broadcasters are not providing you with all of the information you need. I don't know if it is because they are lax or management just doesn't know any better.



In my area, for example, we have analog channel 12. The digital version of this same channel comes in on channel 35-3. So, if I am watching channel 12 during these so-called "tests" it will tell me I am not ready. However, if I am watching the same exact channels digital broadcasts on the same exact TV on channel 35-3 I won't have any signal interuption. So you can see how it is possible to have a TV that is ready for the conversion, but possibly not have it work - it was on the "wrong" channel.



You need to get into the menu and re-autoprogram the set. Before doing that first look on the back and see if there are separate inputs for the coaxial cable to connect to. Some sets have separate analog and digital inputs to save money. Make sure that it is connected to the digital input if they are separate. Auto program the set. Then surf through the channels and see what it programmed in. If you are looking at a channel that has a dash in its number then it is digital; for example 29-1 or 54-2. If the channel has no (-) dash it is analog.



In most locales the digital broadcasts are not at full power. We have one digital channel that is very weak and very few people can receive, but one of their engineers told me that they will go full power and "amaze" everyone on the 17th of February.



Hope this helps!
