Is anyone else having trouble with OTA 29.1-.3 WVIR? We've been having frequent dropouts since Saturday. I was willing to blame this on the wind for the past few days, but it's flakey again tonight with calm conditions. We're ~6 miles...

Last night WHTJ was terrible with dropouts; tonight it's fine. Must have been technical glitches, since weather was good, & other channels were stable.

Carter's mountain is through the trees- all the other local channels come in fine using a Zenith Silver Sensor. We're in Ivy Farms. Oops- it looks like this is UHF only- that probably explains lack of channel 11. ...

Should we in Central Albemarle County be getting WVPT on 51.1-51.3? I don't detect a signal..

Same here- my 41.1 signal maintains at 76-82 as it has been, but there are clusters of signal errors simultaneous with the dropouts, ~1 dropout/minute, which is quite annoying. Same for 41.2 & 41.3, but 29.x is fine.

Our reception of the channel 29.x OTA digital signals has been very poor for the past few days, often giving a 'signal not available', or very low signal strength. Anyone know what's up? Other channels are fine.

We recently purchased a Sony 720p HDTV & using OTA rather than cable. We’ve noticed that frames with motion, especially on WHTJ channel 41.1, show pixelation. This was very apparent during last night's Nature. Static images...
