Thanks everyone.

I took it out of the window, simply laid it on top of a lamp (that doesn't =
get used) next to the flat screen, and everything seems to be fine now.

Subject: [Shop-talk] Over the air antenna frustration

Knowing how large the knowledge base is here I am hoping someone can help..=
......

I cut the cable a couple years ago and bought an over the air digital anten=
na. I bought what was the best one recommended by cnet.com at that time.

My only window option for mounting said antenna is a west facing window tha=
t gets full sun all afternoon until sunset.

Can I assume that the constant pixelation is from sun interference? If not,=
 why do I get constant pixelation? If so, is there any fix/cure/etc?

I need to fix this before football starts otherwise the boss will be upset.=
 (happy wife happy like)

Thanks all
