Hi there

> I'm using a directional HD ROOF antenna pointed towards the towers that are about 8 miles away

How old is your TV antenna?
Is it securely mounted (i.e. does it sway in the wind)?
Are the downlead (should be coax) connections weatherproofed and not corroded?
How big is the antenna? If it has too much gain, you might be overloading the tuner input.

BTW there is no such device as an "HD(TV) antenna". That's just marketing hype for an ordinary TV antenna. There are some new antenna models appearing that are optimized for the post-transition UHF and VHF bands.

Regards
