Which tuner to get and getting the most from it. Thank God, for the radio!

Maybe...or

68.13.78.187

It could also be a break in the cable. RF can jump small breaks because the ends couple capacitively. It could be that when you bend it just wrong you decrease the capacitive coupling and hence the signal strength. RG-6 is certainly beefy stuff; your problem should not be attenuation (in a good cable). So my guess is that you have a defective cable.

The only way I can figure to test it is to remove the cable, test for continuity and shorts. It might be that when you jiggle it just right, you get a continuity failure. In the same position, you should get some kind of capacitive reading through the cable. If you do, that would confirm the problem. If that's the case, you're out a cable. Good luck!
