Thank you.
Do some antennas do a better job (maybe the 91xg) of rejecting the unwanted signals? I'd like the option when the time comes to replace the DB8.

I don't know if I have any options left, Fox quit while watching the NFL playoffs. No signal for over 20 minutes. Might a very directional antenna like a 91gx or similar help?
