Sorry RFMan07, I don't recall when I was able to start getting ch 40 as 9-1.

When doing the automatic scan the box always hung on Ch 40. It still does. The only way out is to end the scan but then the list isn't updated. So to add channels without disconnecting the antenna when it scans around Ch40, I would do it manually by using the add a channel feature. Doing that for Ch 40 would usually show a strong signal received but no picture. But one day after doing that I surprisingly had a channel 9-1. So the only thing I can suggest is keep doing that. If you get it, 9-1 will be there unless you do an automatic scan with a "replace current list". Always choose "add to current list" when doing a scan.
