in the Edit Channel provision, I deselected 47-1 and 21-1. There were no
signals for 10-1 and 12-1. Next, in the Edit Channel provision I deselected
10-1 and 12-1. Rebooted. This left me with the three channels for which I
have no issue. I ran the TV signal set up procedures and also downloaded the
latest copy of the Guide. I then reselected 12-1, resulting in no signal.
Then reselected 10-1 with the same result. After selecting 47-1 and 21-1, I
was back to my original situation: to receive signals on 10-1 and 12-1, I had
to use a two-step process, or selecting 47-1 and 21-1 respectively.
