I see some virtual channel numbers that may be confusing the situation... For example, WDIV, VC 4.1. However, this is not a Low-VHF channel, it's broadcast on real channel 45, a UHF channel. WJBK, VC 2.1 is another example that may be confused as a L-VHF signal. It's not, it's a H-VHF signal, broadcast on real channel 7.

Antennas, cable, splitters and amplifiers have no awareness of virtual channel numbers. Only the real channel number matters when choosing these components.

I have to go to all the way down the list to CKCO and WLMB to spot any L-VHF signals. Both (if they are even on the air) are far to distant and weak to receive.

Hope this helps... and hope I haven't overlooked anything.
