Lost digital channels

Have recently lost access to 2 of local PBS digital feeds on 2 of 3 TV's.All was good then audio/video was gone but signal meter showed still getting strong signal..Then couple days later no signal..Same on identical Pan. plasmas on opposite end of house on separate antennas...BUT... Kitchen Toshiba, sharing an antenna,has not changed...Still gets strong AV!!Tech guy @ station says "no changes".
Have rescanned a bunch.
Any ideas?? I'm stumped- and love PBS..

My first guess would be the signal strength for the PBS station has changed (for whatever reason) and the Pannys don't have the gain/sensitivity of the Toshiba. The first thing I'd try, to help narrow it down, is to move the known working tv (kitchen tv) to the other two location and see if it still receives PBS using their antennas. If not then try a portable indoor antenna with it in those locations to see if that works. That should help narrower it down to either the Pannys or the antennas. In either case, if it's because of low signal strength you should be able to resolve the problem with either better antennas or an amplifier. You can also try moving one of the Panasonics to the kitchen location to see if it receives PBS but that's probably not feasible.
