I have non-digital programming on an old set in one bedroom (Charter
cable) and I used a splitter to put it in another bedroom.
The old TV still has all the channels it had before but the new TV
will only program "antenna" and has 2 thru 13 and 23?! If I force
"cable" programming...it gets nothing!
I have no clue except to try a VCR as a tuner and see what happens!
Thanks for any ideas!

Probably have to do a "scan for new channels" in cable mode to scan
the used channels into memory.

The programming was just a bit odd...reset to default and tried again
and it worked! 61 analog and 48 digital channels were programmmed.

Is the TV an LG? I had your problem on Cox cable in Southern Cal and
it took me a while to sort out TV from digital TV from cable DTV and
cable analog. I did eventually win that war but not until reading the
manual about channel scans and goofing it up a few times. It took some
manual channel editing to get it to behave reasonably well. When did
TV get so danged convoluted?

This is a Coby 23" (BestBuy deal) and at 1st it would not allow a
"check mark" for "cable"? I reset to "default", checked "cable" and
clicked "start". It programmed everything...including access channels
from about 5 counties! It seems like a decent TV except for sound
quality.
