Same Frequency Assignment

[nmantia]

I live just north of Myrtle Beach, SC

I have an outdoor antenna, and I am having some issues.

The local fox station down here (30 miles north-east) has a digital station with a frequency assignment of 44, and the NBC station (40 miles north) has the same frequency assignment on their digital broadcast. I have tried moving the antenna to compensate and pick up the Fox feed, but to no avail.
I can only get the NBC feed because the broadcast with more power. I already have the NBC station here in Myrtle Beach, and I really want to get the Fox DTS station. Anyway to help with this, I have sent emails to the Fox station, asking why they used the same assignment, but have not received a reply on this. Please HELP!

Thx.

Are you using a rotor? Using the Zip for Little River -29566 puts FOX at CH 44 at 313 degrees and NBC 6.1( ch 44) at 46 degrees.

WWAY-DT 3.1 ABC WILMINGTON NC 64° 31.8 46
