trees may be affeting my signal - see pics.

So I put up my antenna today and have some breaking up or pixelation. What can I do? I pointed it at 110 degrees - used my phone which has a digital compass so I should be pretty accurate. See my pics and tell me what you suggest to get the best signal. I am using a hbu33.

Thanks for pointing that out! Too bad your link doesnt work, now if you were to contribute as well as you criticize you may actually serve a purpose here on this forum!

I would not be concerned with the trees in the foreground.

Which channel(s) are giving you problems? Does the problem occur with a single TV connected (bypassing any splitters)? Can you correlate the problems with an aircraft flying nearby? Does the problem occur on more than one TV set?

Perhaps you have a connection problem. Did you check your F fittings?

I agree with TG

A list of the problem channels is important.

If after doing all that TG has suggested, you still have trouble, please run an FM Fool Report and post it. We can look for possible sources of FM interference for you.

The last thing you need is an amplifier. An overloaded amplifier is only going to cause more trouble.
