strange TV reception

every time we get to a new town I scan the TV channels on bedroom and living room TVs in my 5er,but each TV has different channels when I go to watch tv.I only have one antenna on the roof.any idea what the heck is going on.
  • Some tuners are better than others. At home we used to have 2 TVS hooded to the same antenna. One would consistently get more channels and have better reception than the other.

    Yes but...........

    BOTH sets should find the same number of the strongest signals.
    Then one might find fewer of the weak ones.

    But if the lists are entirely different between the two, something really odd is going on.

    My only idea is: Do each scan with the other TV OFF.
