That box thing needs power. Usually it gets it from the twin lead and a power inserter behind the TV set. You've removed the twin lead, and the power couldn't get through the coax to twinlead adapter (balun) that you've used anyway.
So, simply remove the box and connect the balun directly to the antenna. You should get all the analog low power stations that are still transmitting.
To get any digital stations you're going to need a taller mast or tower plus a larger and different type antenna with a new preamp.
Try entering your coordinates again with an antenna height of 50 feet. See if any of the stations get stronger.
