In case you haven’t heard, TV viewers in Santa Cruz County who receive free over-the-air local TV needed to re-scan their TV on April 30 or thereafter to continue receiving local channels, including emergency and weather alerts.
TV re-scans are free and simple using the TV remote: Select Scan or Autotune from the TV or converter box control menu to start the scanning process. The TV will do the rest in only a few minutes.
There may be more than one TV rescan required in each city, and by signing up to receive free email and text alerts at www.tvanswers.org/signup, consumers can be notified the precise day a TV rescan is required.
The Federal Communications Commission is requiring nearly 1,000 TV stations to change frequencies to provide more channels for wireless broadband services, and when these stations change frequencies, consumers must perform a TV re-scan.
