Please note: If you have cable or satellite or are not in the Louisville area, this message doesn’t apply to you.
How to Rescan Your Channels
Rescanning is when your TV finds all of the available channels in your area. You do not
need to purchase new equipment or services to rescan. If you are a cable or satellite
subscriber, a rescan is not required.
For over-the-air (antenna) viewers, to keep receiving KET, you will need to rescan your TV or converter box. Here’s how:
- Press the Menu button on your remote control
- Select Setup, then Channels
- Select “scan” or “autotune” from the menu to start the scanning process.
- Your TV will do the rest. This process usually takes a few minutes to complete.
Every TV is different, so what you see on your screen may not exactly match the steps above. If you run into trouble, please refer to your TV’s product manual, or contact the TV manufacturer for clearer directions specific to your device.
