After 10 AM, today, you will need be making sure to update your TV by administering a scan of channels.

This will not affect those that receive their channels through cable or satellite.

Although this is a relatively simple task, it is quite important so that you will be able to keep your favorite channels.

To rescan your TV, you can select the "scan" or "auto-tune" option available from the "menu" or "set-up" button on your TV remote control.
