You are being castigated for not taking your Pod camping.  The Pod goddess is very strict about this.  You can get away with maybe 6 or 7 months of not camping, but then things start to happen.

Any new buildings go up since, or have there been new electric cables put up?  It could be the surrounding conditions that changed that would affect the signal.  Before concluding something is wrong in the RPOD I would move to an area where there is a strong signal.  You can go to antennaweb.org to plug in your location to see what kind of signal strength you have.

My antennae is the fixed kind. The red button stays on. The camper hasn't been moved in a year.

Same location?

Did you turn on the amplifier (button on connector plate on the wall)?

Connections tight?

Weather conditions the same as before or was it rainy? Stations you can get on a good day may not be very good when it is rainy.

Do you need to re-scan for active channels? If you have moved your R-Pod, I suggest doing this.

Other than that, I don't have any other suggestions. We have the older 'batwing' style antenna that is fixed and is supposed to be omnidirectional. The newer style can be rotated. If that is yours, I can't help as I have no experience with that one.

My tv used to pick up a few channels, now only a few and they are breaking up. Camper has been sitting for a while. Anybody know what the problem could be. How can I get some clear channels?
