<div dir="auto"><div>I agree with all that Dave said... You might try putting the antenna in the attic space to get better reception. Depending on directions the various stations transmit from and their distances, you might just find the sweet spot.</div><div><br></div><div data-smartmail="gmail_signature">________________<br>Sent from my phone <br>Best Regards,<br>Al Fuller</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote gmail_quote_container"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sat, Aug 9, 2025, 8:09 AM DAVID MASSEY <<a href="mailto:dave1massey@cs.com">dave1massey@cs.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div><div style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:16px"><div><div dir="ltr">Where is the transmitter in relation to your house?

The pixelation is due to a weak signal and this could be caused by something blocking the signal or due to the distance between you and the transmitter.

Try rotating it from horizontal to vertical and see if that improves things.

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>
