Reception went out.

I've got a channel master UHF / VHF antenna with a channel master antenna booster. I had the coaxial replaced this past year .

I've ran several scans on Visio not able to pick up anything .
I'm not sure if the amplifier has went bad.
I do live close to a hospital. They fly people in an out peirodically.
Any possibility the hospital etc. is putting a signal interfering with my tv?
Thanks in advance.

It's not clear whether you have had reliable reception with the current antenna, amplifier cable and TV. If you haven't had any reception with this combination of equipment, verify that the TV tuner is set to scan for 'air' or 'antenna' signals, not 'cable' which is almost always the default setting from the factory.

If you have had reliable reception and it failed suddenly, then check that the tuner has not been switched back to cable mode... If that checks out and you still have trouble, try this test, http://forum.tvfool.com/showthread.php?t=13646

No.

Your message is lacking in many details that would be needed to assist in diagnosing.

Minimum requirements would be a TVFool report, specific identification of antenna and amplifier models, and a description of how everything is connected.

Did another scan before bed and was able to get 3 channels.
