You would need notch (bandstop) filters to attenuate at least your 3 strongest channels if you wanted to use the same antenna for everything.

You would need a single channel bandpass filter for WUTV Fox, real channel 14, virtual channel 29.1 using a separate antenna.

Careful, filters are designed using the real RF channel, not the virtual channel number.

You might also be able to use their AC7 filter to insert a signal from a Fox antenna into the main antenna system.

Different filters are needed for different solutions to the problem, which is why you need to talk to their filter engineer if you decide to try that.

Yes, they are expensive. Forum member mulliganman had good results with their AC7 filter, but his problem wasn't as difficult as yours. He wanted Fox on real channel 49 with a 91XG.
