Welcome, ansky:

Please do a tvfool report so that we can see what your signals look like. Your exact address will not show in the report. You can do it here:

I'm using a small outdoor antenna
What antenna are you using?

I tried plugging the coax into 2 different TV's and I have the same problem with both, so we can rule out a TV/equipment problem.
You can probably rule out a TV problem, but maybe not an equipment problem.

Another thing that makes this very strange is that I can take a small indoor antenna and plug it directly into the TV and that gives me pretty good reception, even when the outdoor antenna doesn't pull in anything.
Pretty good reception of WNYW?

What small indoor antenna?

That does sound like an equipment problem.

Where is the outoor antenna mounted?

Any trees or other buildings in the signal path from WNYW?
