What Happened?

Ive had an antenna for several years now and it has worked great. Recently (a month ago) channel 5 (King) has been difficult to get. It constantly pauses, which makes it difficult to watch...so we don't. Of all the local channels thats probably the one we watch most.

here's my signal info:

Have any trees grown up into the path toward Queen Anne Hill?

After a few years, water may have entered the coax or balun (matching transformer). This can cause complete failure on all channels, but often it manifests as intermittent trouble on one or a few channels. The cheapest trouble shooting technique is usually the substitution of the suspect part with a known good one.

What antenna are you using? How and where is it mounted.

You have either a compromised antenna or a compromised location.

There is insufficient information provided to go beyond that.
