One channel pixelating

[andy_horton]

My indoor antenna hasn't moved an inch and yesterday I could get channel 3 at 57-65% strength and today it is 32-40 %. I have tried adjusting the rods as all 3 major stations are high VHF. The other two stations remain between 60-70 % signal strength. Any thoughts? HELP!!!

maybe they are doing some tower work or something?

just for fun can you post your tvfool report?
Reason I ask is sometimes your specific location may have some interference versus someone down the block

TV fool report would be good to see. It could be far enough away that weather plays a major role in reception.

What was your weather like yesterday? Is it warmer, cloudier, cooler, sounds like your rabbit ears are still too weak to hold a steady picture. Have you considered Icebergs solution of putting an outside TV antenna in a closet?

Called the station. No tower work. Cd front coming through with a lot of wind. Last time the wind and a strong front came through another channel did the exact same thing. The rabbit ears are amplified and I have it on the lowest setting as more amplification causes overload. I'll bet it is the weather. I have a clearstream 1 but loaned to my dad. He gets perfect reception with it on his deck outdoors with a amp. I don't know how to post a report but I can tell you when I ran one recently channel 3 is the first color on the grid. It is approx. 11 miles from my location. Never had problems with this channel before but the lady at the station said that the engineers told her if anyone called in about it to tell them wind lime we have today and the front may cause interference.

Edit.. I extended the rods completely and in a v shape and all 3 channels are steady at 60-63%. I didn't need to do this up until today. I'm sure weather is playing a factor since I extended the rods and the problem seems fixed.
