Since the switch to digital over-the-air signals in 2009, tv channels started to look like 2-1, 2-2. The simple reason is that instead of one channel, now there are sub-channels, for example, Our NBC is channel 9. The regular 9 shows as 9-1. Then there is a 9-2, which is their 24-hour news and weather station. And Our Fox is 31. It shows as 31-1, and 31-2 is Antenna TV (that plays old sitcoms).

Now something you should know about the Panasonic TV is that the service that provided the TV Guide On Screen has stopped all service, so that if you want to see what is on TV, you will need an internet or newspaper TV guide. You can still see (and customize) which channels show up in the listings, but no progams will show up there any longer.

Hope this helps.
