Default Need help with local HDTV channels

Does anyone know what channels the Chicago networks broadcast their over the air digital signals on? I found a few but need the rest.

Channel 2: WBBM - (CBS) Digital broadcast on channels ?
Channel 5: WMAQ - (NBC) Digital broadcast on channels 5.1 and 5.2
Channel 7: WLS - (ABC) Digital broadcast on channels 7.1 and 7.2 and 7.3
Channel 9: WGN - (WB) Digital broadcast on channels ?
Channel 11: WTTW - (PBS) Digital broadcast on channels ?
Channel 20: WYCC - (PBS) Digital broadcast on channels ?
Channel 26: WCIU - (UPN) Digital broadcast on channels 26.1 and 26.2
Channel 32: WFLD - (FOX, Fox Box) Digital broadcast on channels ?
Channel 38: WCPX - (PAX) Digital broadcast on channels ?

My downstairs HDTV uses Comcast so the channels are easy to find, but I just bought another HDTV for my bedroom. There is no cable hookup so I am using an over the air antenna, this makes finding the channels really difficult I searched AVS Forums, but after going through hundreds of pages I still cant find any info on this.

Any help is appreciated.

i'm also using the OTA antenna....

there's channel 38.1-4 (preaching stuff, etc.) and channel 60 and 54 (spanish, etc.), and i think METV is channel 23?

i'll go home and write it down after i browse thru my channel list... tho pretty much what you got there are the only ones worth watching...
