David:


I would try moving the antenna’s location within your attic. Digital TV 
reception is quirky: too little signal and nothing, but also too much 
will give nothing (is there a signal amplifier in the feed coax?). More 
than likely too little signal so try moving the antenna a few feet from 
where it is now to see if things change. If the antenna is hard to move 
try a temporary one: the old circular or bow tie antennas are UHF (most 
digital stations broadcast on a UHF frequency).


Another option is “something broke” while the roofers were pounding up 
there. Possible a connection broke at the antenna. Also possible inside 
the housing where not seen – here the test antenna could be worthwhile.


If your antenna feed is amplified be sure the amplifier has power. Also 
be sure the correct coax is going to the input: most coax is black and 
so they all look the same!


Good Luck!

Barry
