So i built a outdoor hoop antenna to replace my cheap and crapy walmart antenna. IDK if the pre-amp fried the 5g/LTE filter or it wad my diy antenna. Is it possible for a 5g/LTE filter to stop working and filter out every channel. Here is the antenna tutorial I followed: youtu.be/Tg0JjeotXq4 And the 5g filter: a.co/d/gwpNo2g
I think my 5g/LTE filter for my TV antenna is dead.

Is the pre amp powered over the coax? The filter may not be designed to handle power.
Nearby lightning could have fried the filter. A direct strike is not needed to cause damage.
It could just be terrible build quality. The filter could have had a bad solder joint that cracked.

Dam, my old antenna was powered over the coax. That’s probly what did it.
