Update on new antennas

I ordered the DB8e and MCM 30-2476 off of Amazon along with the combiner. The first DB8e came with no hardware, cables, or instructions. I did my first return to them and ordered another. Within a few days i had everything installed. Pretty surprised at the results. The DB8e actually picked up fewer channels than the Winegard 7698 that i already have. The MCM 30-2476 picked up my two VHF channels fine. Again, I tried the Winegard LNA-200 and only the VHF channels showed up. I am wondering if the preamp is defective. I hooked up the original 37 dollar amplified antenna for the channels on the hill next to me and it pulled in twice as many as the DB8e.(including, and especially CBS real channel 28) I think the last thing i will try is a different preamp. I will try the Juice. I don't want to give up on the new antennas just yet.
