Was getting 90+ on all stations, up until today (first day I noticed it).

And everything is crap right now. All I can pull in is WGN 9-1 and it's real pixelated. Thank god I was checking before tivo did it's thing.

Is this weather related, or something funky with the antenna?

It may help if you tell us your location.  I can't get WGN and never could but i'm in germantown.

Kenosha, WI - seems like ABC is starting to fade back in now too... Getting it - but with pixelation...

I know we had some big storms here.....

Well, the bad weather is gone, and I still have no HD on my HD Tivo.

I plugged the antenna into the TV tuner, and everything is 90-100% - as it always was.

Is it possible the OTA tuner on the Tivo got fried or something. It appears that it see's "some" signal, just very low numbers.

CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP.

it could be possible. I guess you should check if they haven't changed something on their end.. moved to a new antenna that you can no longer receive.

Well, I got my replacement HD Tivo, and things are back to normal.

I can only assume that I got zapped.

The coax from my antenna to the HD Tivo is grounded though your average grounding block connected to a cold water pipe.

Is this sufficient grounding for the antenna?
