Thanks so far GroundUrMast, teleview, Flint Ridge.
I did travel over to Eagle Grove and bought an FM trap, just to be thorough. Tried FM trap by itself, and then in conjunction with RCA antenna mounted amp. No significant difference.
Tried turning off all power except the TV itself, no discernable difference.
Just because, I climbed on the roof and took a couple of pictures, one looking towards the antenna, and one taken from essentially antenna level looking forward (towards the stations I am trying to receive.). Figured this MIGHT help you evaluate things better (or not).
Antenna points towards the peak in the roof, and only sits around 4 feet higher than the peak...could that be part of the problem? There is one large pine tree across the street, roughly in the line-of-site. Maybe that contributes? Just trying to let you help me.
Still worth noting (I think!)...I am watching channel 5 right now, on a direct connection from the antenna to the TV (not through the HD Homerun). And, it works fine. A few small artifacts here and there, but channel is definitely watchable. Teleview, you gave a link to another company that has TV tuner boxes...any knowledge on whether the tuners they have are any more sensitive than the HD Homerun series?? Just trying to weigh all the options and figure out where to go from here.
Anyway, thanks for all your help so far. If you have any inkling what way you'd recommend I proceed from here, I am open to any options. Just want to figure out what makes the most sense...different antenna, moving or raising antenna, different tuner...or something else.
Let me know your thoughts when you have the chance, and thanks for all your expertise so far.
