HDTV Antenna/amplifier problem

[hikerman]

Last year I purchased a Lava HD-8008 antenna that I installed in our attic. Got 15 to 36 channels regularly until the amplifier stopped working. Since then I purchased two hdtv amplifiers ( 1byone model OUS00-0693, and Winegard Boost XT) neither amplifier gives me even one station. What am I doing wrong?

Looking at the pictures, if the amp in the antenna goes out, I guess that the entire antenna is dead (since the amp is built-into the antenna).
I don't think you are doing anything wrong it is just you need a standalone antenna to feed into the amp.

Since the antenna is dead anyway you could take a shot at opening it and bypassing the built in amp. Nothing to lose.

Thank you for your reply!
I purchased the antenna from antennadeals.com . It came with an antenna amplifier/booster. Shortly after while still under warranty the amplifier stopped working. Messages left for retailer we're never returned. As a result I have tried to find a workable result with so far...no luck.
