As always , trees and tree leaves , plants and plant leaves , have a Negative Effect on Broadcast Tv Reception and so do buildings and other obstructions including your own roof and building.
Some and not all Negative Effects are.
Absorbing and Blocking Tv Reception.
Multi-Path Reflecting Tv Signals Bouncing All Around.
The Best Practice for Reliable Reception is to install the antenna at a location that has the least amount to no amount of obstructions of any type or kind in the directions of reception including your own roof and building.
-----------
Go into the Tv Setup Menu and select and channel scan for ~ Antenna Channels ~ ATSC Channels ~ DTV Channels ~ Air Channels ~.
DO NOT select and channel scan for cable tv channels.
----
Digital Tuners can develop -Digital Glitches- that are not cleared out with simple channel scans.
To clear tuner do Double Rescan.
