32. General - What do all the icons on the grid guide and info bar mean?

1. The blue rainbow in the grid guide means that this is a NEXTGEN TV (ATSC 3.0) channel.

2. The purple key means that this channel is encrypted. Eventually, almost all NEXTGEN TV signals are going to be encrypted.

3. The two-sided blue arcs in the info bar imply that this is a NEXTGEN TV (ATSC 3.0) channel.

4. The two-sided white arcs in the info bar imply that this is an ATSC 1.0 channel.

5. The number below the two-sided arcs is the signal quality number. It ranges from 0 to 100. We combine the signal strength (SIG) and signal to noise ratio (SNR) to compute this number. You can see the actual SIG and SNR values by pressing the Zap key on the remote and activating the antenna setup screen.
