What to do for the FCC Television Repack & how to rescan your TV set. With the upcoming mandatory FCC television repack, WJCT will be changing its transmission frequency but will still remain on Channel 7. If you are watching TV using a standard indoor or outdoor antenna, you will need to rescan your TV set. Not all stations will be changing frequencies at the same time so in order to receive all TV channels, you will need to periodically rescan your TV. Cable and Satellite systems will not be affected by the FCC Television Repack. If you have lost or are unable to acquire your TV manual online, there is still hope in finding the rescan feature. Most TV sets have a remote control with a button that is listed “menu” or “setting”. Whichever it is select that feature and navigate through the various menus until you find the Scan or Autotune feature. Once the scan has begun it may take several minutes to complete so please be patient. If your TV fails to find all the expected channels there are still some things you can do.
Check all antenna connections.
Adjust or move your antenna to a new location. (An outdoor antenna is usually better)
Some powered antennas may have lost strength and need to be replaced.
WJCT monitors all TV streams 24/7 for proper operation and if there is an actual problem with programming, we will post a notice on Facebook and make an announcement to keep everyone abreast as to what is happening.
