John, the OP is now working on a second antenna. Stop implying you have some secret sauce the rest of don't have.

@marni13, I wish I had the chance to talk you into the larger antenna. Apparently the in-town digital relay on ch. 34 is not on the air (you have to enter 34 to get your tuners to directly go to that channel.) Your new TV may not have an analog tuner. If so, it will not see the ch. 51 station if it is on the air. The converter boxes definitely do not have analog tuners.

Go back and read my recommendations. With your setup, you will need a preamp to zero out cable losses. Hopefully, that will give you just enough signal-to-noise ratio for the main ION channel so it will decode.

Please take time to read the Signal Analysis FAQ that's linked to in your report. It should help you better understand what is going on.
