I have a new Toshiba DST3000 receiver and I am having trouble tuning a UHF digital station.

I am using a GE stubby UHF antenna and last night I measured a signal strength of 65-70 but I still couldn't view it. I do know that it is a 480i signal broadcast at very low power (2 kW I think I was told). I had connected the receiver to the Tosh 40H80 monitor to the color stream2 component video input only. Did I need to connect to an analog input like s-video also? It never occured to me to do this because I assumed the receiver would detect the 480i signal and output something the monitor/receiver could display. Or should I manually tell the receiver to change the output to 480i? I have posted this to the STB forum also. Thanks,
Mark

I think you do need to hook up a S-video to watch 480i but check to see if box is switched to 1080i. The box should take that signal and up it to 1080i. It will not be Hd and it should be barn doored---bars on the side of picture.
