There are two possibilities. First, the TV station may not be broadcasting in digital yet. Go to www.antennaweb.org or www.titantv.com to see which stations are currently broadcasting in digital. The second possibility is related to the band the channel is broadcast on (UHF or VHF). With digital TV, the channel number displayed is not necessarily the frequency that channel is broadcast on. For example, digital TV channel 5-1 may actually be broadcast on UHF frequency 41. You may have to upgrade your antenna.
