Nice TV if you don't use an adjustable antenna.

It is impossible to tune to digital broadcasts unless they have been found by the auto-scanning feature. The problem is that this process always ERASES previous channels from memory. This is AWEFUL if you have an antenna Rotator.

When I called Panasonic, I was told that most people do not live between cities and have no need to change the direction of their antenna. When I said that there should be a way to manually enter digital channels, I was told that I can manually enter Analog channels. I said, "you mean the ones that are going away in 5 months?"(Feb 2009), and they said, "yes".
