Greetings all.
I live outside of Asheville, NC and have been enjoying OTA TV since June, but a few issues have cropped up. First, here's my report. Height is 25'.

My antenna is an old ChannelMaster 4221 4-bay located 25' off the ground and mounted on a gable on the SW corner of the house. One cable direct to my TV, an Insignia if it matters.
Reception currently:
13 WLOS (ABC)
21 WHNS (FOX)
25 WUNF (PBS)
These all come in fantastic, rain shine or whatever.
8 W08BP - repeater for WSPA (CBS), tower is 2 miles away and 1000' above my backyard. Always get a strong signal, but have had interference issues which have become horrendous lately, especially on clear days. First thought, multi-path, but if anyone has another idea, I'm open to it. The interference shows up as pixellation and stutter and blackout while signal strength stays steady.
4 WYFF (NBC) - I can get this occasionally, but with only a 25% or less signal and pixellation and stuttering. Late night in the summer, it was watchable, but now it isn't and I'd like it to be. There are no translators around here for NBC anymore and this is the only channel I don't receive that I need.
I also get analog channels 41 & 50, but don't care if I do or not. I'm sure I could get W34DX if need be, it's a translator for ch. 21 so not necessary.
At times I have also received:
45 WYCW - poor signal, don't care if I get it or not
27 WUNW - redundant PBS from out west.
The issues I'd like to resolve are with channel 8 and channel 4. My antenna is old and was a gift from a friend so I'm open to ideas on a different style that might be a better fit. Thanks for any help.
