A station’s signal might be marginal to begin with and any change in frequency may be enough to impact reception. In this case, the viewer’s antenna might need to be relocated closer to a window to restore reception. Q: Why might a viewer lose access to a channel during this process?Ī: The FCC assigned new frequencies and facilities that are supposed to provide the same coverage as the existing ones. Therefore, most viewers should not lose permanent access to any channels. However, in the event that the viewer experiences temporary channel loss, there are a few reasons why it might’ve happened. This move is happening behind the scenes and the actual channel number you see on your TV will not change. Q: Can you provide a basic explanation of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) spectrum repack?Ī: The FCC is requiring certain TV stations to move frequencies in order to make room for new 5G services.
