Try putting the antenna on the wall facing the stations. <div><br></div><div>I cut the cord several years ago & installed an antenna on the roof.

I use a computer to record the shows I want to watch, then watch them on my tv whenever I feel like it.

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 <a href="http://cnet.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">cnet.com</a> at that time.</div>

My only window option for mounting said antenna is a west facing window that gets full sun all afternoon until sunset.</div>

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?</div>
