dirty little secret of DTV....
Lots of antennas that were perfectly fine for analog TV are having a hard time with digital. That is because if a digital signal is coming in weakly it will pixilate or not display at all. And since likely your signals are coming from various directions, it is impossible to get all of your channels with your antenna oriented in one direction on one scan. You would need to reorient the antenna and rescan (and when you do this, likely you will lose other channels). Supposedly they have “smart” antennas that can pull from competing directions, but they are expensive. A little detail they forgot to tell us during the conversion.
have heard that too; some people say if you have a portable antenna someone moving around the room will affect recep.
so much that the signal pixilates.

One site I’ve seen, rabbitears.info IIRC, has you do a search for your zip code and it tells you what channels you should get and gives you a little map showing in what directions
the antennae are. But yes the smart antennas would be
expensive.
