At a guess: the signal path from the transmitter antenna to your
receiving antenna may have enough multipath-reflection components,
that the ATSC demodulator / signal processor used in the Hughes
converter may be unable to handle the job of echo-cancellation and
recover a good echo-free signal.
If rotating the antenna isn't sufficient, then you might need an
antenna which is more directional.
As a sanity check, try taking one of the converters to a different
location - one with a clear line-of-sight to the transmitter
position - and see if you can get a sync-up from there.
