Fox Weather Ch

I noticed today on Channel 51.6 I am getting a weather radar screen marked "Fox Chicago Weatherwatch - Live Power Doppler" and the sound is from NOAA weather radio station KWO39.

I don't know why I'm getting it on 51.6. WPWR which is channel 51 still routes to channel 50.1

WPWR is owned by FOX as is WFLD

Anyone else getting this? If so what channel.

I know I have a lot of trouble with virutal channels on sets I use.

People on the AVS Forum website are talking about this a lot. My DTV box doesn't pick this up, and if I type in 51.6, it refuses to acknowledge it as a legitimate channel. It goes to 50.6 and automatically say "No Signal". I need to reformat my hard drive & reinstall my operating system, along with the ATI software to see if I get this channel. My PC TV tuner card goes by RF channel only. So I might be able to get it. Anyway, for those who do get this channel say it comes up as channel 51.6. It also goes in & out. So who knows what the people at Fox are doing with this weather radar. The website I linked it to goes directly to the Chicago thread of AVS Forums.

On a related note, a TV I tested out at Best Buy picked up 2 channels from WTTW on 47.7 & 47.8, but had a black screen. I don't know what WTTW has on those channels, but it shows nothing, nor has audio.
