CBS in Chicago is the worst.

It also is in Los Angeles, and its SD is on channel 2 here, as well.

When I worked for an A/V chain, I had an old-timer who did some of the antennas for us. When we were up on the roof together and I mentioned problems with Channel 2, he just started muttering and cursing. Most of the county is flat and you can see the transmitting tower, but that doesn't mean the signal comes in clearly. He would mutter about circular polarization (they sacrifice horizontal antenna performance so rabbit ears will work better) and bleeping idiots.

Is it CBS or is it Channel 2? Any other markets have problems with Channel 2? Channel 3 is right next to it, frequency-wise, and those are the frequencies closest to shortwave, not VHF, so they should have the most problems...but somehow Channel 4 is okay....
A good answer is easier with a clear question giving the make and model of everything.
