It looks to me like the KT-200 might be worth a try for my situation, especially since Research Comms is in the UK. Do you guys have experience with the KT-200s? Is the 0.4 dB NF legit?
The NF is optimistic, but still quite good. That would be the one I would try. Get the coax powered outdoor enclosure version. I can't guarantee that it will improve your reception, but I think it's worth a try.

The LNA-200 isn't as good as when first released. They made some design changes to meet a price point that reduced the performance. Also the shielding isn't adequate. It uses 5V which isn't so good with long coax runs because of the voltage drop. CM made the same mistake with the CM7777hd Amplify preamp.

Calaveras on AVS tested a whole bunch. His results in the attachment.
