ATSC(Digital Antenna) Question

OK, how does one choose which digital channel (real channel) to use for the virtual channel?. As you will see in my tvfool link below, I get WGAL on 2 different real channels, 8 and 49. When I do the channel scan, I can see it seeing both channels, but when the scan is complete, I believe WMC is choosing the real channel 8 for the virtual channel 8.1 which has a much weaker signal.

I think I figured out a fix. Virtual Channel in 8.1 shows both stations under the sources, so I uncheck the real channel 8 and I get the stronger signal, but I don't see it when I do signal strengh testing through MWC, it shows virtual channel 8.1 unchecked as I assume I unchecked the real channel.
