What Is The Best Way To Tune The Direction Of A Roof Top Antenna

Is there a menu or tuning option on the tools selection that will help me tune my antenna position on the roof.  I get 24 local channels but at times it breaks up to pixels or goes black

Some Sony models have a built-in signal strength meter to help see if you are pointing your antenna to get the best reception. I searched your users manual and didn't find this feature. But here is a helpful link to help show which is the best direction to point your antenna: www.antennaweb.org
