-->YES you ave a Excelent reception location.<--
_________________________________

So what is the make and model number of the antenna.

It looks like a Channel Master CM4228HD UHF/VHF antenna that is desinged to receive UHF channels 14 thru 51 and VHF high band channels 7 thru 13.

______________________

YES you have a Excelent reception location.

The transmission/reception in the Green and Yellow reception zones are Strong Signal Strength and are easy to receive.

______________

The reception of the VHF high band channels 7 thru 13 will be received even with a antenna that is designed for UHF reception , Reason: the Tv transmissions are Very Strong at your location.

Examples ,
WJLA VHF high band channel 7.
WUSA VHFhigh band channel 9.

___________________________________

Aim the antenna at about 65 degree magnetic compass direction.

Here is how to aim antennas , http://www.kyes.com/antenna/pointing/pointing.html.

___________________________________

Water damage of outside connections and coax is the most likely cause of reception that gets less and less as time goes by.

As a ->Test<- to prove reception.

Disconnect and remove ALL parts of amplifier , disconnect and remove the amplifier unit , disconnect and remove the power injector , disconnect and remove the power supply.

Connect a ->NEW<- continues length of coax that has the compression type connectors on the ends of the coax , not the old crimp type connectors.

Run the NEW continues length of coax through a open door or window direct to 1 Tv.

No couplers , No splitters , No ground couples , No nothing.

It is the , Antenna , the NEW coax , the Tv.

____________________________

Digital tuners can develop -Digital Glitches- that are not cleared out with simple channel scans.
Do Double Rescan , http://www.dtv.gov/rescan.html.

________________________________________

If reception still has problems , then the connection , transformer/balun , of the antenna can be bad from water damage.

->ALL<-> outside connections are suspect of being bad.

And All other connections and coax is/are suspect of being bad through out the whole system , both inside and outside of the building.

Water will get into coax and damage the coax.
