Set up the digital TV converter box, and it works fine! I use rabbit
ears antenna, and live in the City of Richmond VA.
I got this Sony TV in 1986, without a remote, something that I regretted
later, and now I have a remote! Very helpful, indeed. Especially the
"mute" button!
All stations broadcast an image that is more rectangular, so the
vertical span is less than the screen height. I suppose this format is
to fit the big screen TVs.
These stations have two channels. They formerly were program-only.
CBS Channel 6-1 is for programs
CBS Channel 6-2 is for weather
NBC Channel 12-1 is for programs
NBC Channel 12-2 is for weather
Due to distance, ABC Channel 8 had substandard reception formerly, and
now it has good reception. Before and after, channels 6 and 12 have
good reception.
All local UHF stations have better reception than before -- Channels 23,
35, 57, 65. Actually only 35 had good reception before, the others were
poor, and now they all have good reception.
I suppose if I had cable, the reception might be even better yet, but it
is good enough for me, given that I don't watch much TV anyhow.
All in all, I have considerably more features, and the only negative is
a slightly smaller image.
