I tried that different type of by-pass or TV antenna connection point...........still no signal.
I redid a bunch of connections on the antenna plus double checked the in-line ones too, to no affect.
I positioned the antenna to the original NE vector just in case there was an anomaly true east.

When I was done finding out that there was still no signal I switched it all back to the original set up.
By any chance, should I unplug my TV and power it down to reset it? All I'm thinking is that perhaps once I stopped the signal by moving to a taller pole/mast, some recognition software glitch ensued.
