Can't get all Sacramento OTA channels now

:confused:

I live in the San Francisco DMA, but cannot get those channels OTA because of hills between my house and the transmitters. However, I could get the Sacramento channels OTA --- or at least I could before the digital switchover. The OTA Sacto channels had a much better HD picture than the SF ones via Dish.

Now I only get 3-NBC, 13-CBS, 31-Ind, and 58-Ind. I can no longer get 6-PBS, 10-ABC, or 40-Fox. As far as I know, all these channels are still on towers in the same general area (Walnut Grove) that I was able to "see" before the switchover.

I still get the programming info on my program guide for the missing channels, but they show up as "0" signal strength and I get the message that I have lost the signal.

Does anyone know what the story is with these channels? Did they move to different frequencies? Should I do another OTA channel scan and see if I can pick them up that way? I'm a little leery of doing that, given that I can still get the program info, but will do that if that's the only way.

Thanks to all who can help!

Had to delete all the previous OTA channels and do a re-scan. Then just added them back, with the previous channels returning at their new frequencies.

Why didn't I think of this before?

Ah, well.

:yippee:

Thought Dish told us to do that on the last Charlie Chat.

Thanks guys. I had rescanned without success. The I deleted all and rescanned successfully.
