I've had the same sorts of issues several times. I have three little "antenna farms" on my property. Three different locations and all 200-400 feet from the house connected to a A-B-C coax switch. I've got RG6 coax to the 200 foot run and RG11 to the 400 foot run. One of the antennas is a HD8200U. Preamp is a Channelmaster CM7777 but have also tried it with the Winegard AP8275 (worked the same). Most distant stations are around 75 miles with NO line of sight due to the mountains. When we lose out signal, or it gets weak - the first thing I do is go out to the antenna in question. I hook up a TV set right there, on site. Easy to do with a small TV and a portable AC power-pack. This test eliminates all the coax except for what is up on the antenna. If the TV works - I know the issue is downstream. If it still does not work - often it is just some moisture that got into one of the coax connections. On rare occasion, it is an amp problem. One time after losing our best channel - I found out it had temporarily changed frequency during transmitter repairs and that one drove me nuts until I spoke to engineers at the TV station. I suggest you test at the antenna first like I described. Also note I have spoken to the Solid Signal people many times. Great parts and prices but none there I know of are antenna install experts. You might find out you need a line/distribution-amp down at the house. It is cheap and sometimes it is what makes the difference. If your "test" TV works well at the antenna, but not at the house - a line/distribution-amp may be all you need. I have several. If you want a cheap amp with just one output, the 25 dB Eagle-Aspen is less then $20.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
