It was the local analog ION station and the tv says it's channel 91.I suspect it's not a cable signal.Over the air, the local Ion station is on channel 40 so I'm guessing that's what the tv tuner is picking up but why would it show up as channel 91 when I scanned for channels in the cable mode? Seems to me if it was from cable leakage I would have picked up more than a single channel.Oh well, it didn't work here but others may want to give it a try because you too may have &quot;Cable leakage&quot; just waiting to be tapped into.[/QUOTE]
