There is much more to reliable reception than signal strength. I don't know how Hauppauge arrives at the signal strength/quality value. But many manufactures report some sort of error rate based value. If the error rate is such that a signal can not be recovered, that does not mean that the raw signal strength has gone to 0, but it would be fair to report '0' as the quality of the signal. My hope is that moving the antenna to a higher location will place it in an area with less signal reflected off of the ground or you'll experience less affect from your neighbors . I believe you need to find higher quality signal more than you need raw signal power.
I still have hope, but you're facing the task of experimenting with the antenna location. Hopefully, the cost of the mast is not a huge hit to your budget.
