Correct, your VHF signals are too strong for the preamplifier in the LAVA. I'm sorry that you don't get the results like your friend does. It could be that the paths to his location that the signals take knock them down just enough to not be a problem. It's hard to tell from a distance.

You said that you have several other antennas? What are they? You may already have the antenna you need. If not, @Electron's suggestion is good. I would also consider the Antennas Direct ClearStream 5. It is designed for VHF, but also serves as a low-gain UHF antenna, which should be perfect for you. If you get the CS5, aim it towards the ch.12 station at 141 degrees. The ABC and NBC stations can be received through the back of the antenna just fine.

You should get a balanced result of your locals to feed to your TV.
