WLS-Ch. 7 to upgrade its digital TV signal

WLS-Ch. 7 will upgrade its signal at 5 p.m. Saturday, hoping to reach the last remaining viewers who couldn't get the station's broadcast after the June transition from analog to digital broadcasts.
The signal upgrade is meant to be a permanent fix to a problem that has pestered WLS since the summer.
Viewers who have been receiving WLS don't need to do anything, nor do cable TV and satellite subscribers, according to the station. But those who haven't been getting the signal or experience spotty reception must do a hard reset, also known as a double rescan, of their converter box or television after 5 p.m. Saturday. Instructions for a double rescan can be found at dtv.gov/rescan.html.
