Has anyone noticed a dramatic drop in OTA signal strength for most of the HD stations in the Los Angeles area? Up until recently, my LG LST3410A was receiving stations well above the "normal" range, and frequently nearly to the top of the "good" range. In the last week or so, that has fallen significantly so it is sometimes unable to get a signal at all. This is happening on my HD-TV set, as well as on another stand alone HD tuner as well, so I'm pretty sure it is not a problem with the LST3410A

Since it doesnt seem to be specific to your DVD recorder you may want to actually post this question in the HDTV Reception forums, there is location specific threads for the LA locale there.
