We had to rescan earlier this year, just because of a new subchannel
(56-4, AntennaTV) that the local NBC station added.


So does that mean if you hadn't rescanned, you'd still have gotten all
the channels but that one.


Yes, it was just that one that needed to be added.

Could you have just punched in 56,4 and the tv would find it, and then
ou could add it to the internal list, but they said to rescan because
that's a simple instruction and applies to everyone, whereas the
instructions for adding a station vary by tv.


I can't try 56.4 now, since its already scanned (checking it would
require disconnecting the antenna, rescanning, then reconnecting the
antenna. Too much to do for something that probably won't worh and won't
help if it does). Trying 22.4 (the physical channel is 22) is ignored
(on all t TVs I tried).
