No Reception For Two Stations

Hi there,

I stumbled upon this site while researching my reception issue and figured if anyone could answer my question, it would be here.

First, here is my signal analysis: http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wr...0b86f061cc3e31

Our indoor antenna is connected straight into the TV by a 15 foot coax cable. The brand is Clearstream 2 Long Range HDTV antenna (with a supposed 50 foot range.) It's currently sitting about 7 or 8 feet above the ground on top of a tall bookcase near a window (on the first floor of our house.)

Now onto the issue we're having: We're not getting a signal for WWLP and WVIP--both NBC stations. I'm not quite sure when we stopped receiving these two channels, but I know we used to be able to watch them fine with a bit of direction adjusting. The antenna is two years old now and I know we definitely watched them when we first got it. I think we stopped getting the channels a few months ago.

This is puzzling since they are both listed in the "green" range, and especially since WWLP is so close by to us and reception is fine for all the other nearby stations. I've tried angling the antenna into every possible direction and position (which we need to do every once in a while for other stations to come in) and redoing the "channel installation setup" on the TV.

Any ideas for what the problem could be? Does anyone know if NBC has recently changed the way they broadcast the stations in my area since it only seems to be NBC affiliates that we can't get? I don't really want to have to spend more money getting a new antenna, but maybe we need an outdoor one? We're considering running a longer cable and just putting the antenna somewhere on the second floor of our house, so it's up higher, to see if that helps.

Any thoughts are appreciated, thanks!
