Happened to me after I cleaned the roof.. Well, started the tribble hunt.. Found no DC at the antenna.. So dig into the roof where the cable goes and found... The Problem (Corrosion had taken out the connector hidden under the clamshell cable cover.. Must have been a PPP (P*ss Pot Poor) job of caulking at factory, though it sure looked good)
Replaced connector, Replaced Cable end connector, Re-sealed using premium materails.. Watching TV as I type. Note thare are 4 Cable ends and a barrel connector plus the antenna's connector and the power supply/switch (inside device) connector. Plus fuses and wires on teh 12 volt side of the power inserter/switch.
