Indianapolis - 5mi distance, channel trouble

[frank-datank]

Hello,

I'm having issues with just one channel, FOX 59 here in Indianapolis, IN. Here's a link to my location report: http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wrapper&Itemid=29&q=id%3d5ed6d21a2074f9

I'm currently using an attic-mounted Winegard MS 2000 Omni-directional antenna, which is being split into 3 signals throughout the house. One is being fed through a TiVo premier, which is where I'm getting the signal strength numbers.

All of my local channels are roughly 5 miles away in a similar direction. And since this is Indiana, the biggest hills we have are speed bumps.
All channels come in great and are consistent, but I can't seem to get 59 in without interruptions. The signal strength averages 35-50, then will drop to 0 periodically. Sometimes once or twice an hour, sometimes once a minute.

I just got an RCA ANT751R hoping the directional would help, but it gives me the same issue.

Any help would be MUCH appreciated.
Thanks

The following is a Teleview recommendation for broadcast Tv reception.

As always , attics are Not the best location for digital broadcast Tv reception.

Install the omnidirectional antenna above the roof in such a manner that there are little to no obstructions to reception in all directions.

Install the ANT751 antenna Above The Roof in such a manner that there are little to no obstructions to reception in all directions.

Aim the ANT751 antenna at about 327 degree magnetic compass direction.

Here is how to aim antennas , http://www.kyes.com/antenna/pointing/pointing.html.

As always , trees and trees leaves do a real fine job of reducing or blocking Tv reception and so do buildings and other obstructions.

It is best install a antenna at a location that has the least amount to no amount of of any type or kind of obstructions to reception.

Most likely the problem is multipath , reflected Tv transmissions bouncing around in the attic.

Get the antenna out and up in the clear.
