I am having an issue with my recast channel guide. I have a CBS affiliate where we record many shows, but the recast is showing a different station than the CBS affiliate. I have rescanned the available channels and it still shows a different station. The CBS affiliate does show up on the TV when the station is selected, but the guide shows a different station. Can I do something about this?

Hello Kerlogos, welcome to the Forums!
Sorry to hear about this situation. The specific channels you can access using your Fire TV Recast with a digital HDTV antenna will vary based on factors such as your location, surroundings, distance to TV broadcast towers, terrain, and availability of local channels. If you have an indoor antenna, the most effective way to improve reception quality is to change the location of the antenna in your house. The best place to put your indoor antenna is against a window or outward facing wall as high up in your home as possible. Longer range antennas (such as a 50-mile range antenna) may also help you access additional channels from broadcast towers that are further away from your location. Once you have placed your antenna in a different position, you’ll need to do another channel scan manually:
On Fire TV streaming media players or Fire TV Edition televisions, navigate to Settings > Live TV > Live TV Sources > Fire TV Recast > Channel Scan.
• On the Fire TV mobile app, navigate to Settings > Fire TV Recast Settings > Channel Management > Channel Scan.
Let us know how that goes.
