First, here is the link to my signal analysis:

I recently canceled cable and decided to buy an antenna. I live on a hill and about 2 miles from our closest towers.
My house has 5 coaxial feeds all run (home run) to a main splitter in the basement next to my service box. This is where the old cable line fed in. I ran all the cable myself and used quad shield RG-6 cable. I currently only have 2 televisions hooked up in the house.
Originally I bought a cheap indoor/outdoor antenna with a built in preamp and set it up in the attic. I ran a coaxial from the attic, through a interior wall (in a gray conduit) and then into the basement and inputted into the splitter. I connected the preamp power injector in the basement, just before the splitter. The total cable run b/w the splitter and antenna is probably around 50', maybe less.
This setup initially worked great, I got the local tower channels and also channels 50+ miles away (to the west). After a while I started randomly having problems with the signal completely dropping and I'd have to go to the attic and adjust the antenna to get it working again.
I decided to buy a roof mounted antenna. After reading positive reviews I bought the RCA751 and the TVPRAMP1R. I used the same setup only ran my coaxial that was in the attic through my ridge vent to the roof. I mounted the antenna and preamp on the supplied J-Mount. I hooked up the power injector to the same location in the basement.
After I got everything set up I scanned the channels and got NOTHING, no signal at all, not even from the towers 2 miles away.
I did some research and found that there have been some issues with the matching transformer that came with the antenna so I purchased a new RCA matching transformer with gold leads and installed that today. Still nothing. It will not find one channel.
At this point I'm at a loss. I've done plenty of research on this and am fairly certain that I have everything hooked up correctly. I cannot figure out what is wrong.
I have attached pictures of my roof setup. If there are any other pictures needed, let me know and I will post them.
My only other thought is that there has to be an issue with the coaxial wire but it was previously working so I'm not sure. I figured even with some issues I'd still at least get the towers 2 miles away, but yet not one channel comes in.
Please, I need some advice on my next step to resolve this. I will provide any further information needed.
Thank you all in advance
