You have some strong local FM transmitters in the same direction. I wonder if they might be causing interference to TV reception?

I added a Radio Shack RF interference filter too but no improvement.
Was it an FM filter, or something else?

Is the coax from the antenna grounded with a grounding block connected to the house electrical system ground?

That certainly is possible if it is getting worse; trees do grow.

Given the mast height of a dish is only a couple of feet (although it's on a second story roof), would going up higher be our best bet?
It might help if there are trees in the signal path.

Any tall buildings in the signal path?
