<p>[QUOTE="50AmpFuse, post: 100534, member: 11670"]Sounds like we have the same exact problem! The channels start dropping-off right around 40 degrees, then return in the morning, just like yours! Very frustrating! My friend's antenna is not effected by rain or wind either so it makes me think that moisture has nothing at all to do with it but I will check & redo all RG6 connections anyway.</p><p>Here, at my house, I use a home-made Greyhooverman double bay (<u>Copper</u>) pointed towards the same exact transmitter as hers, and mine is about 15 miles further away! The low temps have absolutely no effect on mine though... that's why I'm thinking it's her <u>Aluminum </u>U4000 antenna. At first, I thought maybe it was interference from her Heat Pump unit since that would be running when it's cold, but it has no effect at all. I have already ran a dedicated circuit for the TV & converter box to try to illiminate any chance of iterference from something else on the same 120V circuit.[/QUOTE]</p><p></p>
