Where are network channels?

I recently connected my tv to the internet for on demand programming.  I cannot locate the network channels.  The tutorial said to press a 1 before the channel number, but my network channels are either 1 or 2 digit numbers.  I haven't been able to get them to come up.  Please help.

Currently NBC and ABC are the only broadcast networks with OnDemand/CinemaPlus shows.  Go to Ch1000 and you can search from there.  I think NBC is Ch1005 and ABC is Ch1007.

Just so you understand the channel numbering system, all satellite channels are actually 3 digit numbers.  002 through 999.  The receiver allows you to drop the preceding zeros.  And, all Cinema (on demand) channels are 4 digit, 1000 through 1999.

 

If you're new to Cinema, try channel 1239.  That channel is very reliable and we all receive it.
