I always wonder if we should replace our ancient antenna, or isn't that the problem. Channels are gone as often as not. 2.1 and 4.1. Or maybe it is the PBS channels. Sometimes both. Things will be fine and suddenly it pixelates and is gone. Last night even Fox, usually reliable, if not particularly interesting, was gone. Anyone else experiencing this? Is it our Yakima friends again?

I'm experiencing the same thing. Thanks for posting.

From the Methow Valley Communications District web page:
"NEW: Channels 2.1, 4.1, 6.1 (ABC/CBS/NBC) and 7.x (PBS) from McClure and Grizzly may pixelate or go off the air. This is due to atmospheric conditions and we can only wait for it to clear up.
NEW: The Fox channels (28.x) may be having problems for some viewers, we’re investigating. The transmitter on McClure is operating normally.
A few viewers very close to McClure are reporting loss of 2.1 and 4.1. We are investigating.
NOTE: During the fall and winter months channels 2.1, 4.1 and 6.1 (ABC/CBS/NBC) from McClure and Grizzly may pixelate or go off the air. This also occasionally happens with the 7.x channels. This is due to atmospheric conditions and we can only wait for it to clear up.
If channels are missing, please make sure your antenna looks okay and make sure the coax cable connections are very tight (beyond hand-tight). Sometimes disconnecting and reconnecting them extra tight makes a difference."
