The UHF band (channels 14 and higher) is more directional than VHF (channels 2-13)
and more sensitive to obstacles (such as trees, tall buildings, and mountains) that lie
between your antenna and the broadcast tower. Getting good UHF reception can be
more difficult than VHF.
If you're getting marginal reception of digital signals, both the picture and sound might
freeze or break up to the point that it's not watchable. If you're really on the fringes—
either too far from a tower or with too many obstacles in the way—you'll see a black
screen that says "No signal."
Reception can vary by channel, depending on the location and broadcast power level
of a given station.
Make sure your antenna is connected securely to the TV.
Move the antenna around the room or close to a window. Check the signal strength of
the digital channels again. The optimal location may vary by channel.
Use a basic indoor set-top antenna designed to pick up both VHF and UHF.
OR
Use a set-top antenna that has a built-in signal amplifier.
OR
Use an antenna mounted on your roof or in your attic

Once you have determined which device is causing interference, please move it further from
