Try doing a double rescan on

Try doing a double rescan on your converter box. Disconnect your antenna, do a rescan, unplug the box, wait a minute or two, plug the box back in and the antenna back in, then do a final rescan. I've personally seen this work on Digital Stream boxes so give it a shot. Make sure you do a Full Rescan, don't select the Update option.

Since you're 2.5 miles north of Wautoma you might be picking up WMSN out of Madison. If you're picking up Madison Fox (FOX 47) they are on the same channel (VHF 11) as WLUK so there's no way to pick up WLUK as long as you're picking up WMSN. WMSN won't be moving off 11 until some time next year.

WFXS (FOX 55) out of Wausau should be showing the game so tune to them if you can.

I had the same problem (no

I had the same problem (no Packer games from GB). It was because I had a VHF only antennae. I got a good traditional UHF/VHF antennae (the big one from Menards) and now all is good again....
