Thanks for the test report. That means the TV is OK if you substituted the coax and antenna. That leaves the antenna and coax run in question.

Is quad steel core copper covered good enough?
It should be. Solid copper core is helpful for coax runs longer than 100 ft with a preamp, because it has a lower voltage drop for the preamp power. Your signals are so strong they would overload a preamp. If you want solid copper, Solid Signal makes custom cables:

Test the new cable when you receive it, and then pull it carefully through the walls.
