Getting it here too. Not sure why they're doing this. Most everybody has full DTV now. Some are on their second or third sets.
This is not good. They're already running 4 channels. Loading up the payload reduces the reliability.

11.11 isn't on the WXIA RF 10 transmitter. It's on the WATL RF 25 transmitter, presumably to make WXIA more accessible to viewers who don't have good VHF antennas.
same thing that FOX Minneapolis does. WFTC (UHF 29) carries FOX HD on 9.1 and FOX9+ (formerly My29) on 9.2 mainly for folks with UHF only mudflap antennas 
But also so they can send FOX & My (and Movies!) to their translators in MN and also their satellite KFTC Bemidji (northern part of Minneapolis DMA)
KMSP carries FOX in HD on 9.9

The newer sets are definitely more sensitive than the older ones. I think the older ones' tuners were built to analog specs. All seem to have a short life span.
The LCD sets with flourescent backlighting would eventually get dark.
The LED sets would burn out LEDs.
OLED sets would get burn-in patterns.
I have a 15 db amp on my system. The analog era combo U-V antenna is located in the attic. When it snowed a few years ago, I expected reception to fall apart. But surprisingly, it didn't.

If it makes you folks feel any better, I live barely a mile from the Shepard's Lane site and slightly farther from the Fox 5 site. Despite having a modern TV and decent antenna, not one channel from either site comes in reliably. It's no better than when I lived 10 times farther away. Possibly worse. So I rely on Comcast to provide my TV signal.
