Is this west-facing location facing the TV station? Is it on all stations? How far are you from the stations? 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’m about 40 miles to the stations & had trouble with pixilation & complete dropout at times. I added an antenna-mounted amplifier & now get very few problems, usually first thing in the morning when it is foggy. </div><div><br></div><div>Not related to your question, but I have a box that connects my antenna to my network & contains 4 tuners. I use a computer to record the shows I want to watch, then watch them on my tv whenever I feel like it. This allows me to put the antenna on the far end of the house where the reception is better. <div><br></div><div>Peace, Pat</div><div><br id="lineBreakAtBeginningOfSignature"><div dir="ltr">Pat Horne <div>We support Habitat for Humanity</div><div><br></div></div><div dir="ltr"><br>On Aug 8, 2025, at 10:41 PM, Tim . <tims_datsun_stuff@outlook.com> wrote:<br><br></div><div dir="ltr">

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.</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>
