Portlander's Heads Up! Rescan Required

[DarrellP]

Head Up Portlander's! Next Tuesday all of the digital stations in the area (except WB/UPN) will be resetting their PSIP to comply with the new standard, so you will need to do a rescan of local channels. They will not happen all at once, so if you experience an OTA issue, rescan and it should be fixed.

I also posted this in the Portland thread.

Most STBs will actually fix themselves. Surprisingly even the 811 is capable of doing this

Apparently they won't for this PSIP fix, a local station engineer gave us a head's up on AVSForum. Apperently, it's not just a matter of PSIP mapping getting hosed and the channel remaps, this is a whole new implementation of the PSIP standard.
