The first 3 are cheap fixes... The fourth needs a converter box or new TV.
I've hit the first 3 of those 4 at various times...
One more possibility. I had almost the same issue and tried everything all the guys on this forum suggested, none worked. I purchased a coax tester and tested the coax inside the coach from the OTA amp wallplate to the external cable port (which was brand new and had worked once, just like yours). It tested "open". I took it into the dealer and the problem was; when they put the connector on the end of the coax, they didn't strip the coax far enough back and exposed wire was not long enough and had lost its connection to the back side of the outside cable port even though the connector was tightly connected and looked and felt good. They restripped the wire, put on a new connector with a longer exposed wire and it fixed my problem. The reason it worked once is that it probably was making a good connection until it got bounced around driving down the highways and byways. Might be worthwhile to check that, too - just use a coax tester and make sure the coax is still testing good. Good luck.
