Incidents suspicious

It was with great anticipation that my wife and I looked forward to the new and free HD television broadcasting last summer. We bought the box, and the antenna, and for a while we received some pretty good reception. Then we lost some channels and now we notice that each evening after 8 p.m. the TV gets a lot of interference.

The other night we were at our wits' end watching the playoff baseball game where each play was interrupted by interference on the signal, which was followed by a commercial with no interference by the satellite providers in our area.

Is there some connection between the interference beginning at prime time and the satellite providers? Should the FCC investigate this coincidence? Anybody else feel this connection may exist?
