I have a Zenith HDV420 High Def Receiver and a Winegard antenna on the roof.I rarely use this OTA system unless I am recording 2 programs simultaneously on my TW DVR. The system has worked perfectly and I didn't think it should be effected by the recent conversion from analog.However, when I checked it last night I do not get a signal from 6-1(CBS).All other stations come in normally.Does anyone know what I should do?

Did you rescan? WRGB 6-1 was on ch. 39; it is now on ch. 6. A rescan should also add WNYA, 51-1, broadcasting on ch. 13. It's been reported that they are running half power due to antenna problems.
Many OTA viewers are having trouble getting WRGB since the switch because their antennas were optimized for UHF and high VHF. I had to make a twin lead folded dipole cut for ch. 6 to supplement my 4-bay bowtie attic antenna, and I'm only 8 miles from the tower. It's still the second weakest channel for me (WNYA is weakest). WRGB is running much lower power than most low VHF stations and I've seen one post that said they hope to increase it.
