Right now I've been watching CBS for the last hour and the reception has stayed ok.
Sounds like you box or TV has the known "old memory problem" lots are finding after the transition.

Here is the solution I keep reading over and over.

1) totally unplug the antenna
2) scan for channels and probably get none, this is wanted.
3) then unplug the TV or converter box for 5 minutes.
4) hook back up the antenna, plug it and the TV or box in
5) do a fresh full scan.

This washes out any thing the box should be refuses to forget often finding all the channels. Sound like you pretty much did this. If you still have missing channels try the above steps.

Glad things are better!
