KIRO 7 is the worst offender with a complete loss of signal by 8pm and KCPQ 13 the least. Weather condition have no affect as this occurs in all weather condition. There is no time duration pattern when the signals start degrading. Using a Mohu Leaf Ultimate attenna & MonoPrice amplified antenna. Both antennas are place in the Loft window facing approx 72 degrees running thru a 2-1 signal connecter block then to a 1 in - 4 out distrubion block (powered but adjuster turn down to 0)

Any ideas other then opening one's wallet to COMCAST? I'd swear the TV stations have reduced the transmitter power since 2009 and may even reduce transmission even lower in the evening.

You are in the heart of the signal area. You should be able to pick up a strong signal for the following channels:
4, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 16, 20, 22, 31, 42, 44, 51 and maybe 46.
You may be able to get 24, and 28, but beyond that i am not sure.
First i would use one antenna, MOHU preferred over the other.
Second, i would only use a second antenna using a combiner, not a splitter reversed.
Third, you will find that using two amps, will destroy some of the signals rather than improve them.
Fourth, i found that in your area, you might find that laying the antenna horizontally will get you a more diverse signal than putting it in the window.
Fifth, try different areas of the room, as some areas will bring in better reception than others.
Sixth, keep the antenna away from other electronics and electrical components to gain a better signal, usually 3ft or more.
I live north of the city in Shoreline and get 4, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 16, 20, 22, 31, 42, 44, 51 with a MOHU ultimate.
