Yes, we do have some trees in the signal path for WHO, which is the channel we watch most of the time. I have attached a picture of the antenna/trees.
Thanks for the photo.

Uh-Oh.

Trees cause problems for TV signals.

His trees in attachment.

The WHO signal (which is already weak by the time it gets to you) can be damaged by trees, multipath, primary overload from strong TV signals, primary overload from FM signals, a 2Edge path, and electrical interference noise on VHF.

OK, I get that, but how does the Hitachi do with WHO?
