You would not get any new audio that you would be missing otherwise. But
most people would be mroe annoyed by the stuttering, especially if it is
repeating-ting-ting-ting-ting-ting-ting-ting-ting-ting-ting-ting often.

Maybe there feedback egress from the TV to the antenna? Or maybe some
ingress

What resets it? If you turn the TV off for a day and come back later do
you
get 2 more hours before it goes bad? If so, it sounds like a TV problem.

OK, I don't know this antenna. Is it an _indoor_ antenna? If so, that is
the
issue.
