Well, it's pretty much a wall of mature pine trees that the antenna faces.
Not good. Is there any way you can set up a temporary antenna that avoids the wall of trees?

I'm sure the amp is something from radio shack, nothing fancy.
If it's the 30 dB preamp sold by them, and you add the antenna gain, that would put your tuner in overload. But, if you still have the problem without the preamp, then it is probably something else.

Crosby, TX 77532. I'm using a new TIVO OTA and mini, with a 6 mo. old Vizio 50" LED and/or 5 -6 year old Panasonic plazma with the RCA Model #ANT3038XR.
Have you had this problem all the time with antenna reception, or did it just start? Were you using cable before?
