Setup is WA 110/119/129 on pole 100+ feet from house, as we are surrounded by 80-90' oak trees. OTA antenna mounted on same pole. Can't get EA without moving further away from house.
OTA split at pole to supply a 622 in house and a 211K in gazebo, using diplexers on both runs. Until recently we were getting high 80's to low 90's signal on OTA, now we get high 60's to low 80's, with fluctuations as much as 12 to 15 percent within seconds.
Have checked antenna orientation - OK according to TVfool. Replaced transformer - no change. Cleaned all connections - no change. Eliminated the OTA splitter - no change. Other than run a new dedicated OTA cable to house (ain't gonna happen, too many obstruction, like flower beds, walkways and deck), I'm stumped.
This set up has worked for three years with no problems. The antenna is aimed directly at a 80' oak that is 200' away. Would it have this kind of effect after three years?
I'm lookin for creative solutions from the satellite guys brain trust.
