I own HDHR's as well. I have noticed that the Signal Quality figure is the most important of the three numbers offered by the HDHomeRun Config Utility. If you see a stable Quality @ 75% or above, I doubt you will have any difficulty.

For example, I have a station 70 miles north showing mid 70's for strength, but 100% quality... Clean and stable beats 'just strong'.

Quality of 60% and under is close to the threshold of visible signal impairments in my experience with the HDHR.

Higher frequencies will be attenuated by long coax runs more than lower frequencies.

I still think a Yagi style antenna designed for channel 7 to 51 or 69 would provide the best reception for you.
