Thanks for posting the TVF report.

I would start by asking if you can remove the 'Radio Shack booster' from the system. Not just unplug it, remove it from the line, run the antenna straight into the TV.

I'm curious to find out if some new TV or FM station just came on line... One high powered signal could easily overload the amplifier (booster).

The predicted signal strength in your area indicates that you could easily get reliable reception with no amplifier provided your antenna choice is correct and it is mounted and aimed correctly.
