Is it possible to take your digital TV to the neighbor, connect to their antenna to prove you have a functional tuner? If so, your converter box should be tested also.
No point in replacing the antenna(s) if there is trouble with the tuner(s).
In general, I'd try to prove each part good or bad if there is a reasonable means to do so.
It doesn't happen often, but over the years, I've found more than one failure in the same system... Most recently, this morning, the local telco repaired my DSL service. When the technician called to let me know they had fixed the problem, they indicated that they had found two separate faults, either of which would have caused the intermittent trouble.
If you have the means to take a digital photo of your antennas, feel free to post them. Close up of the matching transformer and it's connections would be good to see.
