Hey Dagwood,
Sorry to hear you are having continuing problems with your
reception. While I don't remember your exact location, I
do remember your situation and the "ladder" incident very,
very well. There are several issues at play, in my opinion.
The stand of trees around your home have grown taller and
more dense. The transmitters you are trying to receive are
less and less efficient and sending out a weaker signal. Some
stations are reducing their ERP output because they have to
reduce interference with other stations on the same frequency/
channel. Finally, your system is older and less efficient as well.
All those factors and perhaps a few others, are causing your
issues. Again, in my opinion, I don't think upgrading your system
is going to resolve the reception issues. Not the information
you want to get but the truth, none the less. Your least costly
options for television are Dish Networks "Welcome Pack" at about
$35.00 a month or having internet and streaming. Wish I
had better news........
