Coax connections are sometimes “less than fully tight” at assembly. Since you are having this problem on both TVs, I would suggest pulling the booster plate and checking the Coax connection from the antenna. Also check the Coax connection at the antenna. If both of these are good and you have a cable connection length of Coax, connect it directly between antenna and booster to check for an internal break or disconnect.

If you have a multimeter, try checking for continuity between the center conductor and the woven shield on the side of the coax. With both ends disconnected there should be no continuity, with the antenna connected on one end there will be some continuity on the disconnected switch end, with the switch connected I'm not sure what you'll see on the antenna end (probably some continuity). Have someone wiggle connectors while you're checking them - the factory has become notoriously sloppy about making the connections properly. I had a connector that looked OK, but was easily slid off the cable and back on because it had not been properly crimped.
Good luck.Mark - 2018 Solitude 310GK - Ford F-350 SRW diesel short box - Pullrite Superglide hitch
