I just meant to mention that the virtual channel is 4.1 because it isn't on the TV Fool report.

There are a number of entries in the database that don't have the virtual channel listed. It's just of those things they never finished since, until recently, that virtual channel data wasn't included in the FCC database.

Would that poor reception only affect those two channels?

Because those two stations come from a different direction which is borderline obscured by terrain, at a minimum. ABC and PBS are on the same tower with the ABC antenna on top and the PBS antenna side-mounted about 75' below it. The hill immediately to your south is just the right height to be on the boundary of a diffraction zone which can cause signal layering. If there are unaccounted for obstacles such as trees and buildings, including your own in that direction, it complicates the signal path so that signals may be blocked or distorted. Having an ineffective antenna that doesn't do much in the way of discriminating directions or that is very effective on VHF doesn't help much.
