OK, after giving up for awhile, I went back to the issue while setting up a Windows Media Center PC as a DVR (which is pretty great, BTW). It seems to me like I have found out my problem, but I'm wondering if anyone can confirm my suspicions, and suggest a solution.
After scanning for all the channels in Windows Media Center I realized that I had 2 different signals for WOIDT (the station with both a lovhf and uhf signal). The low VHF signal is very good, but the UHF signal is pretty bad (which makes sense given where the antenna is pointing and where the UHF signal is coming from). If I disable the UHF channel, then I can watch ABC with good signal on my PC.
However, on my TV it seems like it finds enough signal to map the UHF channel (50.1) to 5.1, and my 5.1 from the VHF (I'm guessing) gets overwritten. Does this sound possible? Is there any way to keep that from happening?
Thanks in advance for any help!
