I don't believe this "double rescanning" nonsense for one second.
The purpose of double rescanning by disconnecting the antenna is to first remove all 'learned' channels in the STB memory, for instance, to remove the now obsolete 6.1 digital CH 64
that is off the air permanently.

Once the box has no channels in memory, the antenna is reconnected and the box scans for all the
channels it can find.

The explicit purpose is to remove double instances of 6.1 so the the viewer won't experience a black screen
with "NO SIGNAL" graphics if the STB is tuned to the old CH 64.
