But the north antenna doesn't pick up the east channels?
If so, I'd try deleting everything and then start with one turner
connected to the east channel.  Scan for channels and then use the channel
editor to delete all but the two you want to keep.
Then I'd hook up the north antenna to the other turner(s) and scan for the
north channels.

I think that would work for you.
