<DIV></DIV>Well, I made adjustments and that seemed to help--I retrieved the
channels. But when I went to watch tv, the screen blackens temporarily
then goes back to the main menu.<BR><BR>I chose 'uscable' (although the
instructions indicated leave on 'default,' but that wasn't getting me anywhere),
but I noticed there were several types of cable-- <BR>us cable, us cable-hrc,
and us cable-irc. I chose us cable. I have no idea what the other
two types are about. Could this be the reason that I am not now getting
anything?<BR><BR>And the window that it is in now is still large. Doesn't seem
to be a way to resize the screen once it is opened. <BR><BR><BR>
