I've had trouble with these stations with my large outdoor antenna the last few weeks. I think it's mostly likely a bad cable, and I'm pretty sure it's the flat cable under my apartment window (of which I ordered a couple new thick ones on Amazon), but I'm just curious if it's something else. By the way, my location is NW Rochester, Minnesota in case you need to know.
 
Are any other stations affected?

I noticed I only get a fraction of what I got before when rotating my antenna. And sometimes the other channels get pixelated. Occasionally, when I move the coax cable around, the picture quality changes on KYIN.

I think I’m also going to try getting rid of all my LED light bulbs, and see if that changes anything (even though KYIN is UHF and I often have the lights off).

I guess nobody knows. I should be getting the new flat coax cables for the window in the next couple of days. Although I wish Iceberg was still here. He knew his stuff plus he knew my area.
