Weird stuff going on w/OTA

[GreggC]

Lately, it seems that my OTA's are not performing as well as in the past. I can't get through many programs without the signal zoning in and out. It seems to be worse on windy days.

Any ideas? Bigger antenna? I am at 20164.

I have an idea.... check out for trees... usually nearby trees are ok in winter (because they have no leafs) but in spring they get bigger and usually they create multipath problems

I had troubles with signals dropping in and out because of reflections. I see you are in the DC area and are close to the transmitters.

I installed an Antennas Direct, model DB2 UHF antenna available from Solidsignal

Now I am rock solid with no signal drops. It is inexpensive, small and works great if mounted outside.
