I get degraded pictures on my TV. What may be happening?

The digital signals, unlike analog signals, are all or nothing signals, so once they start to degrade they pixelize, and then they progress to a black screen. In this case, there are some checks that should be done:
  • Is the antenna pointed in the right direction?
  • Is the antenna preamplifier, if so equipped, plugged into a working household outlet?
  • Was the antenna damaged in a storm or otherwise moved?
  • Have you rescanned your TV recently?
TV antennas are relatively simple devices, but even a small change in the antenna location or coax cable network could cause poor reception.
