CBS local station audio drops issue. Is it me?

[marklyn]

I've noticed for months now, maybe longer, that my OTA CBS channel occasionally lose sound for a few seconds (3-5) and does a very quick video freeze, usually lasting a second or two. My antenna is on top of my house and there is no obvious obstruction in the direction of the TV towers. The NBC and ABC towers are basically next to the CBS transmitting tower and I never have had any sound losses or freeze ups on those channels. Furthermore other local non-descript channels don't do it either.
I've noticed this issue live and on recorded CBS programs.
I have a Hopper 3 with 3 Joeys.
Any thoughts or suggestions?

Have you contacted the channel about your problem?

What is your OTA signal strength on the offending channel?

Does it fluctuate?

What RF channel?

Does it occur when the antenna is connected directly to your TV?

Any large structures to either side of the signal pathway that might cause multi-path?

I have exactly the same issue at my house. It also includes the Fox station which is housed in the same building and run by the same folks as the CBS station. It happens on multiple TV's, different antennas, live or recorded on either my Tivo or my Wally. I've tried talking with the station engineer about it, he says it must be my equipment. I have very strong signals on both channels.

I've just learned to live with it and choose other hills to die on.
