Subchannels

In San Francisco, Comcast provides analog cable. With old TV tuners, you'd only receive one broadcast per channel. But with the Sony's tuner, it can receive any subchannel. For example, if you press "2," KTVU's regular broadcast will appear. But if you press 2.1," the HD broadcast will appear. Similarly, channel 7 has several subchannels, one of which is a weather channel.

Higher up, there are some music channels, as well. I had read about these subchannels, but never knew what they were, until I hooked up the Sony TV at my parents' place.

Hmmm, I just realized that I haven't put up any pictures of my parents' TV on my xanga blog. Gotta work on that.
