Once you have developed a tune table which will work in your area with the appropriate

data entered for each of the tuners you need in your system, press the SAVE button, then

the RUN button to make this active on the ATSC-8. You should see this change immediately

if properly connected to a QAM.

QUERY Command

The ATSC-8 is able to Query the tuned channels once they have been set up so you can view

the signal strength of each frequency. This could be especially helpful if you aren’t seeing

channels that you’d expect to or need to adjust your input antenna.

In this example you can see that channel 9 is not tuned (lock=none) and that channel 25 is

tuned and showing details of all the programming available on that digital channel. You can

see both the Signal Strength (ss), Signal to Noise Quotient (snq) and other important

information to see that your system is working correctly and that you are receiving proper

signal through your antenna.

Adding PSIP Data for ATSC-8 Channels

For many COM1000 users, adding PSIP data to change the virtual channel number and to

include program data is a vital part of the COM1000 deployment. This is supported in the

COM1000 with some examples below. For more examples and configurations regarding PSIP

and EPG, please see the EPG section of the Technicolor COM1000 Integrators Manual.
