I found the problem (accidentially).

I moved the set top box around so I could replace the coax and RCA cables between it and the DVDR VCR combo and hey presto !!! perfect reception on all ABC and others that had been getting unviewable the last couple of weeks .... all I did was move swimg the box around to allow axcess to the back , and nothing else, .... so much for the expert TV antenna guy knowing what the problem was , and so much for needing to spend $1100 to replace my antennas, my mast (to a tall one !! no less + a booster) .... unnecessary , unneeded.

Problem solved, cost $zero.

Was just a dodgey RCA or coax cable connection to the back of the set top box or maybe one of the cables in the RCA bundle or that particular coax has a break in it.
If the problem comes back I'll change the RCA and coax between the STB and the DVDR VCR combo.

Guess I should have checked that first.
