[OTAFAN]

Hi jimmylittleman:

Is it possible to ask any of your neighbors that also have OTA antennas and see what their reception is at present?

I would also check your Pre Amp/booster to make sure none of the circuitry has failed.

And, how old is your TV? Flatscreens typically start having issues 6-7 years out, although not a hard and fast rule. The last time my Samsung started having reception issues, I took it into my local electronics repair shop. The Tech asked me the same question, and when I told him 7 years, he said this was not unusual. Our TVs these days don't last like the old tube TVs of our childhood, say up to 20 years or so. Anyway, I just ended up buying a new set as repair wasn't cost effective.

These are just a few ideas that may or may not be helpful in resolving your issue. Hopefully, some of the TV Fool Techs will read your post and be able to narrow it down for you. Fingers crossed.

Please let the forum know what your outcome is. I think it would be of interest and help to others here.

All the best.....
