One of the most effective tools available to the DIY antenna installer is a known good cable that can be used to bypass a suspect component. For less that $20 you can get a 50' cable with factory installed connectors and an F-81 barrel connector. These two parts can greatly simplify trouble shooting.

With the 'tools' mentioned, and a good TV tuner, you have all the parts need to run this test, http://forum.tvfool.com/showthread.php?t=13646 as well as trouble shoot the other possibilities listed in the previous posts.
