Need Antenna Help

Hi Netters,

I need some advice.  Lately it seems that I have had a lot of interference 
in the TV reception.  Most UHF stations get fuzzy and drift off and now 
it's even happening to some network channels.  It's like the TV is trying 
to pickup two channels at the same time.  I live on the outskirts of 
Washington, DC and use a Channelmaster antenna with an amplifier.  The 
antenna feeds directly into the amp which is located in the attic.  This 
has worked fine for about six months.  I have heard or read that amps are 
great for picking up signals.  Is there a filter or something I can put 
in the line that will take out these stray signals?  Do I need to put in 
new cable?  

You can email me at wilson@mml.ncsl.nist.gov or post to the net.  

I do not usually read this group, so I'm sorry if this subject has been 
beaten to death.  Thank you very much.

Ron Wilson
