TV signals less than 50%, San Francisco, CA.

All TV signals are less than 50% now, I'm getting no picture. This is a link to my TVFool analysis. http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wr...f1f04ee65eb6d0

My window is facing West. I'm using indoor antenna Mohu Leaf. I'm assuming some new tall buildings are blocking the signals? This is a recent problem.

Amplified or non-amplified version? Do not use an amplifier in your area, it will cause severe issues

Your antenna needs to be facing south for best results. If it's facing west, it can only pick up signals reflected off buildings or trees out to your west and that usually means unreliable reception.

Non-amplified. Looks like no more OTA TV for me because I only have one window facing west. Luckily most PBS programs are on youtube.

You may be able to mount a small antenna on the wall just outside the window and point it south. It's worth looking into, IMHO.
