KUSI and FOX 5/KSWB are adding an upgraded signal called NEXTGEN TV or ATSC 3.0.
If you use an antenna to watch TV for free, you must rescan your television to continue receiving all channels within the viewing area. 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.
People with older televisions will need to rescan their TVs starting Saturday, Jan. 13 in order to receive KUSI.
Those with newer televisions that can tune the new NextGen signal will need to rescan starting Tuesday, Jan. 16.
Viewers with a NEXTGEN TV receiver will get an enhanced viewing experience. To learn more about the benefits of NEXTGEN TV, visit WatchNextGenTV.com.
How to rescan:
Select Scan or Autotune from your TV or converter box control menu to start the scanning process.
Your TV will do the rest. This process usually takes a few minutes to complete.
Once your rescan is complete, you will still find KUSI on the same channel number as before. If you have rescanning difficulties, you can usually find instructions by selecting the “Set-Up” or “Menu” button on your television or converter box remote control. You can also consult the TV’s owner’s manual for detailed instructions.
