[BC] DTV scanning blues

Here it is, from your government - the "easy to understand" way .... :



Rescan DTV Converter Box


----------
Many consumers already know about the need to run 
the “scan” function on their digital converter 
boxes or digital TV sets periodically following 
the June 12 digital TV transition. Scanning 
searches for and “remembers” the available digital broadcast channels.

But in some cases where stations moved their 
digital frequencies on June 12, simple scanning 
may not be enough. There is a procedure – 
sometimes called “double rescanning” – that can 
clear your box’s memory of saved channels. These 
earlier scans may have saved channel information that is now incorrect.

There are five simple steps to a double rescan 
for a converter box or digital TV, which are as follows:
    * Disconnect the antenna from the box or digital TV.
    * Rescan the box or digital TV without the 
antenna connected. As with any scan follow the 
on-screen instructions or owner’s manual for your device.
    * Unplug the box or digital TV from the 
electrical outlet for at least one minute.
    * Reconnect the antenna to the box or digital 
TV and plug the unit into the electrical outlet.
    * Rescan the box or digital TV one more time.
