DaMeatMan,

I also have the Hisense converter. There is another way to set up channels although it may be tedious. Go to SETUP, then to ADD A CHANNEL. Enter in each of the UHF broadcast channel numbers (40 for CTV 9-1) one at a time. The box will add any stations it receives on the entered channel numbers to its list. Like you wrote, this box will hang on channel 40 when doing an auto scan.

As for CTV , I tried this method a couple of times a day for channel 40 until one day it picked up 9-1 and added it to its list. From then on it works perfectly recognizing channel 9-1.

A question... where did you get the information to upgrade the box to version 2.9.3?
