Missing Channels in Scottsdale

[Marty Eleven]

I live in Scottsdale, Az and have direct tv. I have a Radio Schack HD outside antenna used in conjuction with Direct Tv. As a result I receive all of the local Phoenix channels in addition to the Direct TV local channels. My problem is that I do not receive KAZT 7-1 and 7-2. I receive all of the of the other local channels. What is the problem? Thank you

KAZT-TV is an independent television station in Prescott, Arizona, broadcasting locally in digital on VHF channel 7 from its transmitter located atop Mingus Mountain northeast of Prescott. Its analog signal is simulcast across central and northern Arizona through a translator system, and its digital signal under the calls KAZT-CD is simulcast in Phoenix on channel 36.[1] It can be seen on cable systems throughout the state (excluding the Tucson and Yuma markets), as well as on the local channel packages from DirecTV and Dish Network. The station has business offices and studios in Prescott and Phoenix. (From Wilipedia)

I don't know what kind of antenna that you are using, but I suspect that it may be the cause of your lack of reception on KAZT-CD KAZT-CD operates it's Phoenix transmitter from the same South Mountain transmitter farm as the other Phoenix stations.
