It could be like X10 signals. Plug something new into a socket, and
suddenly the signal on that phase of the power gets sucked down to where
it rarely works. The something new could be in any house connected to
the transformer that feeds your house. Check whether the places the
signal doesn't work are all on one phase of the power.
