<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">Last year all but one of my local OTA TV stations changed frequencies as a
part of the FCC repacking of the USA OTA channels.
Today the last one switched. I can't remember exactly what I did last
year, but I remember it was simple. I tried on my development v31 FE/BE
combo to make sure I had it right before I did anything with my production
backend.
I failed on the initial test. All I did was use mythtv-setup and in the
input connections I did a scan and updated all channels. I still could not
receive the channel that moved.</pre>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%">What I had done
here
with the various repacks in eastern Iowa was to do a channel scan,
which did find the new channels. The last one was sort of a
fake-out: I assumed they would switch at 12:00 midnight, they
didn’t
update until 12 noon, so my morning scan didn’t come up with
anything new.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%">Scanning later and
with earlier packings did come up with new channels but the
original
one was still present and this is the channel MythTV was looking
it,
though now dead air. The scan did create “Channel 1”, “Channel
2”, etc., which as the newly found repack stations. Deleted the
old, edited the new, everything works. Found out later the proper
way to do is delete the old/original channels, do your scan, and
the
newly located stations will be (should be!) properly inserted.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%">Another possibility
is the transmitter physically moved. Here when the repack occurred
“Channel 6” moved their transmitter from the Orion IL Antenna
Farm about 15 miles SSE of the house to the antenna farm about 4
miles NE of the house, so effectively ‘behind the antenna’.
Perhaps this is why you are not obtaining the new stations.</p>
