Dish network and ch 9.1 problem

[joohio37]

I have a TERK HDTVo Amplified Directional HDTV Antenna this is UHF/VHF . I have dish network and my zip code is 47006 - I live 36 miles from Cincinnati where ch9 is at - I receive ch 5.1 ,5.2,12.1 ,12.2 19.1, 19.2 - I pick all those up no problem but i can not pick up 9.1 ?? - I have programmed dish to search for local channels and i cannot pick up 9.1 - is there something wrong im doing ?



please help


thanks
