Signal Quality 100%, but how about Signal Strength?
If you see that some channels can receive well, some don't, then that's likely the issue only happens to you.
There are several factors that causes that.
Could you take a photo of your TV antenna? And how long have you been using that antenna? How's the antenna and cable condition?
Are you using RG-6 coaxial cable to connect to the antenna, or the 3C-2V or 5C-2V cable?
Are you using IDTV or digital TV box to receive the channels? What model is it?
Just saying, not me at my hometown, so I can't do any physical.
Anyways.
Strength 96 for normal channel at MUX 2, no info at MUX 1 as my parents keep sending me video when it is laggy with green screen, while I told them 30 times send me the photo with Signal information on TV channel with trouble, then they send me TV 2 with signal information, and they decided to auto tune until no signal via manual scan....
Then no choice, told them try re-plug while manual scanning, then ok already...

So known info is.
1.MUX 2 is Signal Quality 100, Signal Strength 96.
2.MUX 1 unknown as my parents refused to do as I told them..
3.As I can recall, 15 years of antenna, and yes RG-6 with Booster used for 10 years, turned off as no need, the plastic on the cable header are dropping la, degrade over time..
4.Cable at Booster I already fixed 2 years ago, the ground part is not connected, so I unscrew then screw it back into touching the metal, then getting 100 signal quality.
5.Sharp TV, with 5V Antenna Power turned off
6.After fighting with my parents 30 times of signal strength, and 1 hour, I just told them to re-plug the cable, then fixed.
So, why MUX 2 is fine, while MUX 1 is down without signal after heavy raining?
(unsure signal quality for MUX 1 la, but unable to manual scan and found on MUX 1 frequency)
And, did it is antenna issues, not completely MYTV fault?
It start from a heavy raining, and MUX 2 getting Signal Quality 100, Signal Strength 96, while MUX 1 no info, which is also strange as MYTV normally crap on MUX 2, but it is when they just switched on MUX 2 la.
1 year ago I also got testing during heavy raining la, no issues until now.

Conclusion, should I tell my parents to buy a indoor antenna?
If yes, any recommendation?
As MYTV just 4 KM away only on the Map, unsure the height la, if including the height of mountain, maybe 6-8 KM of distance la.
Better be cheap or my parent don't wanna one...

You know old people la, I tell them lot of thing, like RM 200 to purchase a new router, don't want, want TM replace it if break down.
(while it is lot of trouble on WiFi stability now)
Then I also got told them to buy a new indoor antenna, don't want, say outdoor antenna can use, so use lo, I told them thunder ⚡ might hit the outdoor antenna and bring the new TV down also don't want to buy..
I guess in this case, they might just say, just re-plug can fix ma...unstable unstable la..
