Just because your receiver is sick doesn't mean its dying unless there
truly are no service shops in your area you would trust.

Sounds to me like it might be a case of front end overload which could be
related to the fact that your meter stopped working. You didn't specify
brand or model of receiver, but many put a signal strength meter in the
Automatic Gain Control loop. Failure of that loop could lead to signal overload.
try moving your antenna around just to be sure its not some weird manifestation
of multipath. If that doesn't fix it I'd strongly consider a trip to the
fixit shop, unless you wanted a new one anyway - in which case this furnishes a good excuse.
