[QUOTE="iaskalottaquestions, post: 185455, member: 21283"]I'm getting a lot of pixellation and signal loss from my OTA antenna whenever traffic goes by on the street; it seems to be worse with larger vehicles and happens mostly on one channel. At certain times of day, the traffic makes it unwatchable. The antenna is roof mounted, 32' off the ground and oriented corectly toward the broadcast transmitters, which are about 20 miles away at 243°, set with a compass. RF cable is run from the antenna to the TV. In looking around a bit, I've seen a couple suggestions. One, less practical for me, is to raise the antenna higher. Another is to point the antenna up at an angle higher toward the sky. For that, I'd need to make an adapter for the top of the mast. Any thoughts on this?
