We live in Louisville, KY. Have a new HR20 with D*. I just realized that a standard inside OTA atenna might work for local HD's (not yet available with D*). So I pulled out an older Radio Shack set of powered rabbit ears and plugged them in. Here are the settings for our house from antenna.org

WHAS-DT11.1ABCLOUISVILLEKY333°11.255
WMYO-DT58.1MNTSALEMIN331°10.851

WKPC-DT15.1PBSLOUISVILLEKY338°11.417

WKMJ-DT38.1PBSLOUISVILLEKY338°11.438

Here's what is odd: I can get 3, 15, 32 and 41 just fine. I cannot get any signal at all on 11. The orientation of the antenna should be okay. 3, 11, 32, and 41 should have almost exactly the same antenna orientation. Any ideas?

From what you posted.
IF you can get FOX you should be able to also get ABC, they are onlt a few degrees apart.

Davidson, I live in Louisville too, but I have an outside HD antenna. I get them all, 3-1, 11-1, 32-1, 41-1, a ton of 15's and 23's. Maybe it's the rabbit ears??? I'm out in Okolona and see everything just fine.

Highview here.... I pick up all of the stations with an outside antenna. All the towers are located on Floyd Knobs (exept 21). Antenna I use is in sig.
