I agree with the others that something suddenly shorted or went open. When up there install a "two part" amp.Those amps with the power supply and ampler module together at the TV are for the birds. I use a wee dab if silicon grease inside the connector. And a blob of silicon around the connector to try and keep the moisture out. If the end of the cable has been water soaked. The cable can be internally shorted 2-3 feet down it's length. Rotor position is everything. 2-3 degrees is the difference between no signal or a watchable picture here. The so called HD antenna tends to be a much more compact and sturdy unit that stresses the tower and rotor less. The "HD" antenna is 2/3 sized, usually a channel 7-59 or 7-69 unit. If channels 2-6 are included it just adds all those wide elements which also pickup FM radio interference. Those 5 channels 2-6 are not really lost. I cut my 2-69 HD antenna into a 7-69 antenna and picks up 2-6 just as well as it ever did.In fact better, there is less "herringbone" from the *(^%&*& FM transmitter 3 blocks away.
