Thanks!
Thank you both for your help.
My reception has improved markedly.
The changes I made included:
I went to a 4 bow-tie style antenna (AntennasDirect db4e) without the reflector grill installed.
I put the antenna much higher up in the attic. It's aimed with the broadside facing at about 310deg. This just seemed to work best.
Perhaps the most important changes were these: I noticed that the cable coming from my wall and going into my TV, though only about 6ft long was not quad-shielded RG6 cable. Changing this out seemed to make a big difference. When adjusting the antenna's position, I didn't always run an autoscan, I have found this to be very important.
I have trouble with intermittent signal disturbances still. The disturbances are rare, tend to happen in the afternoon or evening, and usually last for less than 5 minutes. It never happens on the VHF channel, only the UHF ones are impacted. Any thoughts?
