Possible Pattern Noted by FCC: Double Rescan May be Needed

  • Regarding reception & signal problems with high VHF channels, the FCC is trying to determine if there is a pattern nationwide.  They have identified one potential solution that has been successful in solving the majority of problems for some stations — a “double rescan” the converter boxes. Here are the steps:
  • Detach antenna
  • Rescan converter box (to clear memory)
  • Detach converter box power cord for 1 minute (to ensure that memory is clear)
  • Reattach both power cord and antenna
  • Rescan again
  • FCC is considering issuing an advisory on this “double rescan” solution, but is trying to determine how to communicate this succinctly without creating more confusion(!).
