Perhaps the TV can not recognize the

If the antenna is located in the fringe area
of a television signal where the signal is
weak, the picture may be marred by dots.
When the signal is extremely weak, it may
be necessary to install a special antenna to
improve the reception.

Black spots or horizontal streaks appear, or
the picture flutters or drifts. This is usually
caused by interference from car ignition
system, neon lamps, electric drills, or other
electrical appliance.
Ghosts are caused by the television signal
following two paths. One is the direct path,
the other is reflected from tall buildings,
hills, or other objects. Changing the
direction or position of the antenna may
improve the reception.
This interference produces moving ripples
or diagonal streaks, and in some case, loss
of contrast in the picture. Find out and
remove the radio interference source.
