To clarify on the "by-pass" procedure, I physically disconnected the preamp, put a male to male coupler on, and connected the antenna cable to the cable going into the house via the coupler.
I did this with the "power inserter" in the basement still on (because I forgot all about it), and the splitter in the basement still in-line with all the TV's hooked up to it. I thought at least a few of the stronger signals should get through, but nothing did.
I will unplug the "power inserter" when trying a new by-pass test later today (weather permitting).

If the by-pass later today works, I will replace the 300/75 balun (again) when installing a new preamp and line inserter power supply.
Thanks to all.
