Question: WVTV vs. WCGV

[mrmike]

First off, long time lurker, first time poster.  I've been lurking here for over a year, but I went off HDTV for various reasons a while back and I just returned to the fold.

I've STFA with no luck, so here goes:  Somewhere deep in the bowels of my mind I seem to remember that 18 and 24's digital antennae are co-located.  I am at a loss to determine why then (Other than the obvious "we're brodcasting with a Realistic amp and a coat hanger" Fox 6) 24.1 is the only station I can't drag in off my rooftop antenna on my shiny new MDR-200.  It's been 7 or 8 months since I sold my Samsung STB, and I've been DT-less since then, but my gut feeling is that this new box is much more sensitive than my old one was.   Anyone got any wisdom for me?

There are many reason why you may be having problems?  WCGV-DT is channel 25.  Currently they are running at lower power.  Your new tuner may have problems receiving the DTV signal since channel 24 is a high power  station.  You may need to re-aim the antenna.  If you are using an amp you may need to bring the signal level down.
