Try replacing the matching transformer and coax. Run the new coax directly to one tuner with no amplifier or splitter.

While you do that, you will be able to inspect the antenna for corrosion, wear and damage. If the terminals are too corroded to loosen as you attempt to replace the matching transformer, that is a very strong indication that it's time to replace the antenna.

If the existing antenna is in good condition, it should be pointing west. http://www.kyes.com/antenna/pointing/pointing.html
