Actual channel different from listed channel

I just got a new Toshiba HDTV. The local PBS channel is listed as channel 20. But, on the new TV it comes in as channel 71. Also FOX is listed as channel 59, but comes in as channel 115. How does this work? I'm confused.

You need to take the TV set out of the "CABLE" mode and turn it to the "AIR" or "ANTENNA" mode...Then rescan: this will fix the channel misregistration.

Yes, it works great now. I thought I had it set on antenna, but I didn't. Thanks.
