Lost Channels - Suspect Power Injectors

Hello all. I have a Wingard omni directional non-powered antenna. I don't remember the specific model. The website I bought it from recommended it based on my address. It came with 2 PI-1000 power injectors. I ordered another power injector for a 3rd TV. It is a different model. It's a PS-1503. Up until a few days ago everything was working just dandy as it has been for almost 5 years. I got pretty much every channel that's available. I then started getting distortion on some of the channels. On the main TV I swapped out the PI-1000 for the PS-1503 which was on the TV that's hardly ever used. It seemed to fix the problem. Then things got worse and I lost more than half my channels. I've fiddled around some and found that if I have just 1 power injector in the system then that TV will work. If I put another one on a different TV at the same time, I lose channels. So right now I have the PI-1000 back on the main TV with no other injectors in the system and I get most of my channels.

So it seems that the power injectors are the problem. How do I know if one is bad? Should I replace them with the same models? Is there a better solution?

If I put one of these on my antenna will it allow all 3 of my TVs to work?
