[Shop-talk] Over the air antenna frustration

[DAVID MASSEY]

More RF problems are solved by chance and good luck and experimentation than by technical analysis.
Good for you.

 Thanks everyone. 
I took it out of the window, simply laid it on top of a lamp (that doesn't get used) next to the flat screen, and everything seems to be fine now.

Subject: [Shop-talk] Over the air antenna frustration Knowing how large the knowledge base is here I am hoping someone can help........
I cut the cable a couple years ago and bought an over the air digital antenna. I bought what was the best one recommended by cnet.com at that time.
My only window option for mounting said antenna is a west facing window that gets full sun all afternoon until sunset.
Can I assume that the constant pixelation is from sun interference? If not, why do I get constant pixelation? If so, is there any fix/cure/etc?
I need to fix this before football starts otherwise the boss will be upset. (happy wife happy like)
Thanks all_______________________________________________
