I was getting them all fine here in Ashburn. Now I only get Fox.
Anyone else?

OTA means over-the-air. So if you get your signal from DirectTV or cable, instead of an antenna, it's not OTA, which is what the OP asked about.

7 and 5 have never given me trouble. 4 and 9 can be spotty. I'm especially disappointed in the WETA channel 26 signal, it is really weak. 22 comes in much better.

I'm in Springfield only 15 miles or so from the towers. Mine weren't changed as of yesterday. If they just went out of course it could be some of this storm moving through.

What networks are on 7 and 5?

If your getting them (ABC, CBS, NBC) then i.m going to have to troubleshoot further.

For those not aware, an inexpensive OTA antenna gives a far superior pcture (in many locations) than cable or satellite plus it's free.

7 is ABC, 5 is Fox. Clear as a bell yesterday. 4 (NBC) had a little trouble yesterday and 9 (CBS) has been problematic for a while. No changes in signal that I've noticed recently for any of them though.

I must have done 10 scans but finally got NBC back.

Going to have to go higher with the antenna.

Thanks all.

The farther away from DC you get, the harder it is to obtain a signal. Getting out towards Ashburn is really pushing it. Try www.tvfool.com to see what channels you should get at your address.
