I live in NY metropolitan area. I get OTA Ch. 5 (Fox analog) and Ch. 9 (WOR analog). But I am also getting 9-1, digital version of WOR and 9-2 which is the digital version of Ch. 5! In other words my ATSC tuner is confused and assigns to the digital version of Fox 9-2 instead of 5-1. I get OTA about 40 digital and 25 analog channels. I get no digital subchannels for Fox. Did anybody notice the same problem with Fox?

Sometimes the PSIP data stored in the box can get messed up and stays
that way. The Fox station may have sent out messed up PSIP data and the
ATSC tuner locked on it. First step is to do a full rescan. If that does
not fix it, the next common step is to: 1) disconnect the antenna, do a
full rescan with no signal to clear out the current channel assignments,
2) Optional - unplug the TV or STB - which ever has the ATSC tuner for
30 seconds. 3) reconnect the antenna, plug the TV or STB back in, turn
it on, and do a full re-scan.

Good luck!
