The future of television is coming to The Philly 57.
This station is moving frequencies to upgrade its signal to NEXTGEN TV on August 10 at 2 p.m. If you use an antenna to watch TV, you must rescan your television after August 10 at 2 p.m. to continue receiving this channel. After this date, viewers with a NEXTGEN TV receiver will get an enhanced viewing experience. To learn more about the benefits of NEXTGEN TV, visit WatchNextGenTV.com or call 215-977-5150 during normal business. Cable, satellite and streaming viewers are not affected.
If you rely on an antenna to watch free, over-the-air television, you must rescan your TV set after August 10 at 2 p.m. to continue to receive The Philly 57.
Rescanning is when your TV finds all the available channels in your area. You do not need to purchase new equipment or services to rescan. If you are a cable, satellite or streaming subscriber, a rescan is not required.
Once your rescan is complete you will still find The Philly 57 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 or converter box owner's manual for detailed instructions on how to run a channel scan or contact customer service for your TV or converter box manufacturer.
