Default Why does the over-the-air HD signal become pixelated and freeze?

Is it a problem with the built-in HDTV tuner? A problem with the antenna? Or a problem with the station(s)' signal quality?

Oh, also, we were receiving all the HD signals just fine, but now it says "No Signal!" for channel 14 and more recently for channel 26. Is the HD tuner bad?

Well, I just turned down the HD antenna amplification a bit, and now 26 is coming back in just fine. But 14 is still "No Signal!"

Ah. That's stupid. Lousy local TV stations.
