At my dad's house, dropouts are fairly sporadic and only affect certain channels, but when they do occur, they seem to coincide with planes flying overhead. (He lives on a hill near SFO.) Maybe those VPI bricks are somehow blocking whatever interference that planes might be emitting???

My dad's using a VERY old (50's-era) TV antenna for his digital TV reception and it seems to do a decent job, but I'm hoping to find something better and more 'modern' for him....

you can try using a powered antenna booster. I bought one years ago I think I had to order it from radio shack. I plugged mine in by the tv. I have a house antenna so I dont know if it would help much for indoor. but I think it would help. back then they were around $20 to $25
