It Is not working
The signal strength of my gotv is 42 and when I scanned it, it picked only 14 stations.
Though, I brought the decoder from a state to where I am using it now.
Where I was using it originally, it used to pick at scan channel 21.
Then, I took to one of my neighbors who uses gotv as well to scan it.
It picked 84 stations but when I retuned it to my place, it could not because it picked on another scan channel of 36. With this, it could not show the stations but the original 14 stations.
