There is a signal on 49.5 and 49.6 but it's poor video quality with pixilation.
If it has pixilation, that probably means weak signal, which is a surprise considering how strong the signals are on your report. That would mean there is something wrong with your antenna system, or there is something blocking the signals on the way to your antenna.

Your Sony has a Diagnostics screen for the signals. Can you record what the readings are for your channels?

channels do not
look good

Weak signal, Or Antenna
not positioned for best
reception.

Use the remote control to select the Digital Broadcast
channel with poor reception, then press the Home
button and select Help‐>Signal Diagnostics, several
parameters regarding the broadcast signal are shown. If
the Signal‐to‐Noise ratio is outside the range of between
19 & 35 dB, the broadcast signal is too weak, or the
antenna may need to be repositioned for best reception.
If the signal is too weak and adjusting the antenna does
not improve the reception, a more sensitive antenna, or
an external RF amplifier may help.
