Stopped Receiving Channels

I'm not sure what happened, but all of a sudden yesterday I stopped receiving every channel except one. I have roof mounted Winegard HD7697P antenna and an Antennas Direct CPA-19 Pre-amp wired direct to TV, no splitters. Nothing of note happend, but I started to lose CBS, which is the channel that I have the hardest time receiving on Sunday night. I still didn't have it on Monday, but I still had everything else. Then I started to struggle with channels last night and now I only have ABC, which tends to be one of my stronger channels, if not the strongest. If I unplug the preamp power cable, I lose ABC, but it comes back if I plug it back in. I checked cable tightness behind the TV, but not up at the antenna. I assume if I had a lose connection I would lose everything, but maybe not.

When I was first working on setting up the TV a couple of months ago I had a similar issue. I had left the signal strength indicator on for a while to see if I ever got anything from the one channel I just can't get. When I went back to the other channels, I had nothing. I tried a few things and ended up unplugging the Pre-amp and the TV for a while. When I plugged them back in, every thing was back. I tried that for a few minutes tonight, but still get nothing except ABC.

Any ideas?
