Default "tuning" in a Freeview digital TV set-top box

The same with one of these digital boxes. Good external Yaggi and
downlead and the signal bar is 80 to 100 percent on all stationss except
two. Moving the plastic cased box around there is a point , in mid
space, where the "no signal" box disappears and the signal bar goes to
20 to 30 percent on those channels. Have to be barefoot to work, also
wearing a glove nullifies the effect. Any advice on how to progress,
grounded aluminium around the box? local ghosting effect ? if so why
only 2 stations affected out of the 10 or more on that one multiplexed
UHF channel


If there's that much pickup on the box or downlead, there's something
wrong. Short in the co-ax or connector?
