How to View KVLY-NBC, KXJB-CBS, WDAY-ABC,
KJRR-FOX, KFME-PBS, FSN & BIG TEN in HD

Your HDTV Set Needs A

HD tuner that will tune QAM cable channels or

HD tuner that will tune over-the-air 8VSB channels

How do I know? Consult your HD TV set owner's manual

HD QAM tuner option 1: If you have your HD TV set connected to CSi Cable and are watching channels 2--75 now, go to set-up, channel programming and SCAN the cable channels in again. This may take 5 minutes or more, depending on set. Wait for it to finish!

How do I scan? Consult Your Manual

Tune to channel 83 If the set has a QAM tuner, you will see KXJB on 83.4

UP ARROW to view 83.6 WDAY. If you do not see the channels, the set might not be able to tune QAM channels. CONSULT THE OWNER'S MANUAL.

Tip: to view HD channels, enter 83, and then UP ARROW from 83.4 to 83.6, UP ARROW again to view 84.9 UP ARROW to view 84.11, etc. Some TVs will allow
direct entry of channels, by pressing 8 3 dot 6 enter to view 83.6

OVER-THE-AIR 8VSB option 2: CONSULT MANUAL as to how to view Digital TV using antenna signals. Connect CSi Cable to the ANTENNA input on the TV. Some TVs have 2 inputs, either move the cable input wire to ANTENNA IN or put a splitter on cable line and connect to both cable and antenna. Note: When you connect CSi Cable to ANTENNA input and select AIR, the TV will display VHF channels 2-13 and UHF Channel 29 as it thinks it is connected to a roof-top antenna.

Go to channel setup, and switch mode to AIR - CONSULT MANUAL

SCAN channels. When the scan is done, enter channel 10 in remote.

Up channel to 11 - this is analog 11. Up channel again, and TV should show 11-1, KVLY in HD. Some TVs may require you enter 29 the first time to find the channel. When KJRR is in place of KVLY, go to channel 7, then up arrow to 7-1.

In this option, to view cable channels 14 - 75, change TV return band select to CABLE for normal viewing. This may require moving the input wire if you did not use a splitter. CONSULT OWNERS MANUAL as every TV set is different.

CSi is passing KXJB-CBS, WDAY-ABC, KVLY-NBC, KJRR-FOX, & KFME-PBS in the clear to QAM Cable tuners, at no extra charge for our CLASSIC CABLE CUSTOMERS in Jamestown and Valley City. This is a free sampler only and channel placement and selection may vary as we conduct our testing.

CSi is also transmitting KXJB on uhf channel 29 and KVLY on uhf channel 30 to be viewed in HD on a TV set to view Over-the-air digital signal format.

TV Brands will vary in the set-up. Please review your TV set manual to find answers to your specific brand of HDTV. Because of the wide variety of TV brands, CSi Customer Service is not able to have first hand knowledge of all brands.

CSi will offer a larger package of HD channels across the CSi Fiber Network in Jamestown and Valley City. To be able to view the optional package in "HD", viewers will need a HD capable TV and a HD Box from CSi. The CSi HD lineup, prices, and equipment details will be announced as it is available for your neighborhood.

FAQ - What is the difference between Digital TV & High Def?

Standard Definition TV (SDTV) - SDTV is the basic level of quality display and resolution for both analog and digital. Transmission of SDTV may be in either the traditional (4:3) or widescreen (16:9) format.

High Definition TV (HDTV) - HDTV in widescreen format (16:9) provides the highest resolution and picture quality of all digital broadcast formats. Combined with digitally enhanced sound technology, HDTV sets new standards for sound and picture quality in television. (Note: HDTV and digital TV are not the same thing — HDTV is one format of digital TV.)
