“Just purchased the 50-mile antenna. Hooked it up, clear day, no weather conditions. While it does bring in numerous channels I was not getting before, several of the channels are hinky, with streaming interruptions. Any remedies?”

Keep trying different places for your antenna. The higher it is, the better. Try putting it up in the attic or near a window. Keep it away from metallic objects as well.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.On occasion, when atmospheric conditions are just right I can pick up a signal that is 90 miles from my house! It never lasts but if the signals are out there the antenna will usually try and pull them in, even if they are out of the stated range of the antenna. Again it often doesn't last. When it clears up and there are no clouds to bounce the signals to my antenna the 90 mile channel fades away.

Not only did I get half a dozen more stations but the issue of interruption in the streaming is solved too. Very pleased with the reception now - but wouldn't have expected any issues to begin with being in a congested urban area like Boston. In Georgia, I would expect problems, but not here. It remains to be seen if the antennae will help reception on the other tv set upstairs. I still have that set hooked to comcast cable but will be cutting cable and returning equipment Monday or Tuesday.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Unfortunately I have the same problem. I tried to optimize the location but it did not solve the problem. I live in Georgia, originally from Connecticut and when to school in Boston, Northeastern. What happened to the Bruins in the playoffs!!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You could try changing the antenna orientation.
