The only other thing I changed is I moved the TV closer to where I sit; I sat further away before. Would that have anything to do with it?
Could it be the coaxial cable ?

Don't buy this: Ultra Coax
Buy this: Quad-shield rated at 2.3GHz
Quad-shield is as close you can get to what the cable company will use for HDTV, High Speed Broadband and digital phone. If your picture is weak still you might need a distributor amp to boast your signal from the where the coax drop line goes to your box from the street pole. That you would need to call your cable company to come out for that. They can test your signal for HD quality.
