If you’re experiencing difficulty with one or more digital stations, the FCC recommends trying a “double rescan”:
If you are using a converter box or digital television connected to an antenna, simply disconnect the antenna from the box or TV and scan for digital channels. Once the scan is completed, reconnect your antenna and scan for digital channels again.
This process clears the memory of your digital tuner so it can accurately identify the digital stations in your area.
I have two TV, the same make and model. They are both connected to the same out door antenna. I have a converter box hooked to each TV, the same way on each. But one TV get like five more station, then the other one does. Is there a answer for this
Ed,
Are the two converter boxes the same make and model? If not, you probably have your answer. All converters were not made equal. The digital tuner in one box might not be of the same quality as the digital tuner in another, making it more difficult to pull in all available channels.
On the TV that gets fewer stations, make sure the antenna is connected securely to the converter box and that there is no damage to the antenna cable at all. Even a slight bend or fray can disrupt signal quality.
Is the antenna cable that runs to the box significantly longer than the cable running to the box that receives more stations? The longer it is, the worse reception can get.
