[QUOTE="Terryl, post: 754410, member: 369937"] If you cant get to the antenna due to lack of proper access equipment then it would be better to get one of the local TV antenna installers to take a look at the system, its better to spend a bit of money on them then several months in a cast. (or worst) Lack of signal could be due to the in-line amp is without power or dead, the coax could be too old and its outer jacket has cracked in the sun and let water in, the connection at the antenna or amp could be loose or corroded, and a list of many other things could be wrong. If you haven't done this before and don't have the proper tools then the best advice I could give you is to find someone to help you that has, we don't want to hear about any accidents. P. S. Is that antenna pointing at that tower you can see? That looks like it is a directional antenna, it needs to be pointing at the TV transmitter tower to get a good signal. [/QUOTE]
