If your digital reception tends to mess up a lot it could very well be interference from local cell phone towers. We've had issues with the picture freezing up, glitches, and black screen on all Dayton TV channels (the Cincinnati stations at 40+ miles away usually played fine???). Very frustrating but the problem has been solved with a Channel Master LTE filter and now we can watch TV glitch free 99% of the time.
Channel Master LTE filter
They are kind of pricey at around $25.00 each but it should do the job of clearing up the cell phone interference and if not, they have a 30 day warranty so you can return it. Good news is Channel Master has them on sale right now for $9.99 and I'm pretty sure there's no shipping cost involved so that's a great deal. Just make sure you order it from Channel Masters web site to get the sale price.
Cautionary note:
I've gotta add here that late next year the digital TV spectrum will shrink more and cell towers will be using more of what is now TV spectrum so this filter may not block out all the cell phone interference when that happens, but for now it works great here.
