It sounds as if the ANT-751 is doing OK with WBIR (real CH-10) and WKNX (real CH-7). It also sounds as if the modest UHF gain of the ANT-751 and the trees are combining to limit your UHF reception.

Consider adding an Antennas Direct DB8E + RCA TVPRAMP1R preamplifier. The RCA preamp has inputs for separate antennas. Connect the DB8E to the UHF input and the ANT-751R to the VHF input.

Also, if possible, select a mounting location that has the least amount of obstruction such as trees or building laterals.
