USING THE CABLE BOX (if you haveone) to changethe stationssometimeshas an advantage,too, especially if

Connect the output of yourtuner to the input of thenext device.

If you usedA/V cables for step 3, set the "nextdevice"to Video input. If you used an RFcoaxiatcable in step 3, then tune the "next device"to
