sudden Loss of reception

http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wr...59791b7722e943

I've been using the same antenna setup since the DTV transition with generally good reception for our local TV stations. Sometimes a heavy windy storm will blow the antenna off aim.

All of a sudden I'm not getting anything no matter how the antenna is aimed. I know the usual direction at this point and I'm getting signal strengths in the 0-40 range (based on the Tivo signal strength meter). Normally I get strengths in the 75-99 range.

Setup includes:

Roof mounted (ranch style house - 15' mast) UHF/VHF antenna from radio shack (looks similar to a channel master cm3016)

Antenna mounted powered pre-amp (don't remember model, but purchased online based on recommendations from these forums)

Splitter to 3 different TV's , one has about a 30' run, the others 75'-100'+ runs.

Nothing has changed in our setup when the signal dropped. I thought the wind had blown the antenna off of the correct location.

Any ideas?
