When trying to point to my local PBS station, the TV Fool plot only shows real channel 25 (4.1 virtual). The TV scan pulls in a 26.1 virtual which has the same PBS feed as 4.1. Specifics from antenna web are:

RF Channel: 32
Virtual Channel: 26-1
Heading: 306 degrees
Miles from my location: 31.6 miles

Thanks for the update!

So it looks like you're picking up WUNL-TV, RF channel 32. This is one of the many transmitters operated by UNC-TV (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UNC-TV).

WUNL-TV does show up in your report, but the virtual channel number is missing (we extract data directly out of the FCC databases and they do not appear to have this information on file). However, we are able to fix this in our local database, so in the next round of maintenance updates, we'll have the correct virtual channel added to the list.
