The fact that you are trying to receive out-of-market channels will not make your in-market channels magically disappear.

I plugged the pre-amp back in and got all my Toledo stations back and ABC and Fox Lima back. Also, my local Fox station was no longer skipping.

You appear to be trying to bargain with members of this forum to allow you to receive additional channels with your preamp. No one here has any control over your preamp. Your preamp's effectiveness is determined by its specifications and the aggregated strengths of the signals that it receives.

I'm betting dollars to donuts that you received 20 extra sub-channels on many fewer unique RF channels. For a given RF channel, if you receive one of its sub-channels, then you will receive all of its sub-channels.
