This probably counts as a stupid question - can trees interfere with TV reception?
Our over the air reception from Indianapolis (75 miles away) has gotten worse over time, although it never was all that good, at least NBC.
the only explanation I can come up with for the change is trees in front of our house in the path of the signal.
Am I crazy?
thanks.

You are not crazy, and the trees "might" have accounted for the signal loss.
However, over the last few years, there are more and more signals going through the air form cell phones, HD signals, satellites, etc, that they will all interfer with a TV signal.

You can try a more powerful (larger) antenna.
And you should have a pre-amp attd to it.
