OK I played around rotating my outdoor antenna (its a Channel Master 4bay bowtie)
Aiming it closer to direct to the location of the broadcast towers for the channel at 26 I was having issues with, got it to come it solid with no variation.
So most likely I was getting multipath effects off axis.
Another tower at a different location where I get a couple channels from however makes one of those channels weak aimed at the other tower (about 60 degrees between them). So I am experimenting now somewhere in between that can still get 26 and acceptable signal from the other tower channels.
Obviously the TV tuners are more forgiving than the PC WinTV card in this case...
