Need pre-amp or new tuner?
I have a Clear Stream 4 on an existing antenna pole, mounted at 15 ft and aimed away from our metal roof. I'm picking up several stations 36 miles away. We've had this set up for 6 months and we've just recently noticed cut-outs in the audio and sometimes even affecting the video. The audio cuts are less than one second and the video cuts just result in pixalation. I checked the signal strength and it's 70% on one channel and 82% on the other. This happens day & night, regardless of weather and every 2-6 minutes. This signal does NOT decrease when the audio cuts occur. We checked connectors and everything is secure.
Is it possible the tuner in my TV is going bad or is our signal strength not high enough? The TV is from 2006 while the antenna is brand new. My cable run isn't exceptionally long as we live in a small single story home.
