Default Offtopic - TV channel remote question


wrote in message
...
Sorry if this is off topic, but I assume someone on here knows the
answer.

I just bought a new tv with a remote. I have never owned a tv with
remote before. They were always old clunkers with click tuners.

I got the new tv all setup, but there is no mention in the manual
about what one button is for.

On the remote, there are the numbers 0 thru 9.
OK, I know I press the 0 and the 4 for channel 4, or the
1 and the 9 for channel 19.

But, there is one more button that says +100 on it (exactly as I typed
it). Pressing it does nothing, and like I said the manual does not
mention it. This button is right next to the last numerical digit on
the remote.

I'm getting up in my years, and this hi-tech stuff tends to get
confusing. It dont help when they dont mention it in the manual
either.

Anyone know?

PS. I have an antenna on the roof, and a VCR. No cable, no satellite
no DVD. I live out in the boonies so I cant get none of that stuff.

Thank U

Joe


This is turtle.

From what i can remember it is for selecting channels over 99 like channel
125. You push 100+ the the next two numbers. You push 100+ then 2 then 5 =
Channel 125.

Most TV stations are well below 100 or less.
