Problem with WCVB signal

Anyone else having problems with the WCVB signal over the past few weeks? It’s been getting worse and worse - tonight it’s unwatchable. Every other Boston network affiliate is strong.

It's been fine for me over the air here in Somerville. If you haven't, try moving or repositioning your antenna.
 
Low Power

Sorry, just saw this post now... :( WCVB was on low power due to issues with their new antenna/transmitter, but as of last week should be back to full power
 
Hmmm....today the signal is weaker again for me. And this morning it was pixelating like crazy. I wonder if something happened to the new transmitter/antenna.

It doesn't seem clear from the FCC filings if all of the stations are permanently using the new antenna, and at full power. They may still be "tweaking" settings and possibly switching back and forth to the Cabot St tower at times. Also, WUTF definitely still needs to be connected to the new antenna.

The next few days they will be lowering power on their transmitter while tower crews complete work on the tower. Some stations like WNEU will be down entirely OTA while the crews are working up there.
