I'm most puzzled by the signal degradation that this new HD technology has resulted in, since once they had upgraded the standard broadcast signal some 15 years ago (I'm not technically savvy, but I think they added some kind of 'rotary' signal transmission in order to minimize interference at that time), the channel reception used to be perfect.
At least, luckily, I don't seem to get interference from cars, of which there are many.
Sounds as if there's no hope other than to use the cable-tv rapists, with their "thousands of channels and nothing to watch" pricing policies.

You should have a high-VHF capable antenna pointed at 31 degrees magnetic for WNET, although your signals are so strong that you might do better with an omnidirectional one. Your current antenna may be in a dead spot where the ground reflection is cancelling the primary signal. You might try moving the antenna a few feet toward or away from the station.
