Thanks again! This forum has been extremely helpful. I'm looking forward to getting home and trying out a couple things. Hoping to not have to exchange the TV.

Oh, I thought you were connecting the antenna directly to the TV.
Sorry, I wasn't clear. I am connecting it to directly the TV. I have a Chromecast connected separately for other content like Netflix.

WPMT is one of your weaker channels, with co-channel interference, adjacent channel interference, and a 2Edge signal path; not a reliable channel. No broadcast of the games on one of your stronger channels?
Actually, since moving the antenna to the attic, I've had no issues getting WPMT. When it was sitting next to the TV, it was hit or miss.

That is certainly a possibility. The strong signals mix together and create extra spurious signals within the preamp itself that damage the weaker signals like WPMT. This is called IMD, for Intermodulation Distortion.
Thanks. Could turning the Terk pre-amp off help? Also, maybe collapsing the VHF elements so those signals are weaker?
