OK, I was wrong about the antenna being powered. I thought that meant something on the antenna itself plugged in. The antenna is an amplified Winegard Metrostar.

As I said before, everything worked fine for almost 5 years. I'm not sure what happened and why it's not working now.

Anyway, replacement power injectors are about $25 each, so I'd be out $75. It looks like a replacement antenna is about that much.

Unfortunately, I've been working mostly with the coax cable that was already installed in the house. When I installed the antenna I ran a cable to the cable box. From there it splits and goes into the attic. One line goes to one tv and the other one splits again and goes to the other 2 tvs. It's pretty long runs of cable. It looks like I might need to clean up the cabling if I switch to a non-amplified antenna.
