Questions about KHSV
Is KHSV broadcasting in ATSC 3.0 (NextGen TV)?
No. KHSV broadcasts only the current (ATSC 1.0) signal that every digital TV can receive. There is no NextGen TV filing for it on record with the FCC.
Will KHSV stop working on my TV?
Not under today's rules. Any full-power or Class A station that switches to NextGen TV must keep an old-format (ATSC 1.0) simulcast on the air, and that requirement has no end date. What could change it: broadcasters have asked the FCC to let full-power stations in the 55 largest markets end old-format signals in February 2028. The FCC's own October 2025 proposal leaned the other way — letting each station choose when to stop. A final decision is expected by the end of 2026.
Why can't I get channel 21?
Start with a full channel rescan (Settings → Channels → Auto scan) — stations change transmitters and frequencies more often than people expect. KHSV transmits on real (RF) channel 2, which is VHF-low. VHF-low (channels 2–6) is the hardest band for indoor and flat antennas. If this station breaks up while others come in fine, an outdoor or attic antenna with long VHF elements is usually the fix.
