FCC Online TV-Set Rescanning Guide Comes as More Stations Repacking

The FCC posted an online guide to rescanning TV sets for consumers affected by the post-incentive auction repacking. “If you watch free over-the-air television with an antenna, you will need to rescan your TV set each time a station moves to a new frequency to be sure your TV recognizes the new frequency when you tune to that channel,” the page says. Though the agency has other online rescanning guides, the new page was released to coincide with the beginning of repacking's phase 2, which began Saturday.
