Your Bro-in-law needs to find out how far away and exactly where the new channels are. ometimes the digital broadcast tower is not in the same place as the analog is/was. Find out how powerful they are too. Some of the digital channels are not all that strong.
There are several things he can try-get a stronger booster (amp), though that is iffy. if his booster is low level, then it should be very close to the TV. As Abe said, cabling does get old.
