The stand of trees around your home have grown taller and
more dense. The transmitters you are trying to receive are
less and less efficient and sending out a weaker signal. Some
stations are reducing their ERP output because they have to
reduce interference with other stations on the same frequency/
channel. Finally, your system is older and less efficient as well.
All those factors and perhaps a few others, are causing your
issues. Again, in my opinion, I don't think upgrading your system
is going to resolve the reception issues. Not the information
you want to get but the truth, none the less. Your least costly
options for television are Dish Networks "Welcome Pack" at about
$35.00 a month or having internet and streaming. Wish I
had better news........

The above in red makes the most sense to me. The hill and mature trees have been there for 10,000 years -- long before I put my system up. It worked flawlessly from 2011 until late 2017.
Thanks to all for the comments!
