While its true moving the antenna may be required BUT I THINK I WOULD FIRST CHECK ALL THE CONNECTIONS AND WIRE FROM IT TO THE TV. There could be a break or short or corroded resistive connection somewhere.
Any chance you have or can get another piece of coax like RG 6 (assuming thats what you have instead of old twin lead 300 ohm) and rig it temporarily from the antenna to the TV and see what happens???
Any chance you have 300 ohm twin lead to matching 75 Ohm coax converters at the antenna or TV you can try a substitute to see if that helps???
Finally if the wire is good,,,,,,,,any 300/75 ohm adapters are all good,,,,,,,,the antenna and at TV connections are all good THEN ID TRY MOVING THE ANTENNA......
The adds talk about DIGITAL TV ANTENNAS but an old one (from analog days) or new (so called digital) is still basically the same thing ....
Do you have a digital TV or an old analog one requiring the converter box???????? If so the box may be at fault!!!!!!!!!
Connections,,,,,,,,,,wire/coax,,,,,,,,,,,adapters,,,,,,,,,,converter box,,,,,,,, Id try all that FIRST, but then maybe try moving the antenna
JohnT NOT a TV expert but thats my opinion and approach, hopefully other "TV" men can help

The nice thing about our old iron friends is that they are usually quite consistent in their response, rather unlike some people I know who might change what they say due to the weather or other mitigating circumstances. But since t
