First, I'be solved the email notification problem. For some reason, Gmail was sending it into the spam folder. Just created a new filter that ensures nothing from TVFool goes there.

I don't have a portable radio, but can shift my stereo from FM to AM easily, and when the tv signal is dropped, I can try to see if there's interference on the radio signal.

Curiously, it seems that I sometimes can get a clear TV signal when I first turn the tv on, but that only lasts for a few minutes, and then it's gone.

I did try, a few days ago, a different antenna, with rabbit ears, and it didn't seem to make any difference. I'll give it another try just in case, and as I have the time.

All my AC appliances here in the apartment are two pronged and with one prong wider than the other, so can't shift them over. The outlets themselves are three pronged, but nothing I have other than the extension cable has a three prong plug.

The only channel I'me interested in seeing for the late night news is CFRN (CTV) 3.1 The only one I can get right now is YES-TV, 30.1 which holds no interest for me at all.

"grounding the coax shield with a grounding block might help." Not quite sure what you mean, but for my antenna, right new I'm using a length of speaker wire to extend from one side of the room around the floorboards to where the tv is, and then into a coaxial connector and into the tv itself with another short length of coaxial cable.

Edit: Tried the rabbit ears again - nothing. Tried using an extension cord for tv power across into the kitchen - nothing. Tried checking with the AM receiver on my bookshelf stereo - it's an incredibly old thing, the cd player quit so long ago I don't remember as I don't play CDs in it anymore, and could get nothing on the AM receiver, although the FM does receive the two or three radio stations I occasionally want.
