I have experienced  this with tuners that don't allow me to explicitly
add channels.  It  can take a few tries  but once the channel is found
it will remember it and (sometimes) receive it.  This can be a big
problem if a station  depends much on antenna direction and you have
multiple directions to try to add to the list.

My Vizio at least allows me to rescan only a limited range of channels
to get around this.
