Some of these have been discussed in the other thread but I'm not sure you answered all of them:

1. In the other thread you said your antenna is aimed at 33 degrees. How did you aim it? With a compass? Cell phone compasses are not known to be very accurate.

2. I have a distant channel that the channel scanner does not find. I add it manually by entering the real channel number (in your case 36). The tv then saves it using the virtual channel number. Did you try that? [Not all televisions support this.] I'd be interested in knowing what you see when you manually tune to the channel. My Samsung shows snow if there is absolutely nothing there. But if it finds something it can't decode it says that that it can't decode it.

3. Although you already mounted the antenna, I'd consider unmounting it and trying it at different points on the roof. Sometimes there is a sweet spot.

4. Did you try connecting a different television and scanning? All tuners are not equal. If you only have one television in the house maybe a small one can be borrowed for the purpose?
