signal question please

I did get the Winegard 7694P installed on the original dish J-mount, also installed the Radio Shack FM trap. In general getting many more bars for each channel but still not getting real channel 23 after trying around 15 antenna positions. There is a home kitty corner across the street with an L-shaped roof in the general direction of the beams, it is about 200 feet away and is also a single story ranch. I did go get a home depot top rail to insert into the J-Mount.
Do I need to raise it all the way above the neighbors roof line (about 8 feet of that top rail) or will a lower position likely work to enable 23? Not sure how much of the signals are blocked by the neighbors roof and if the signals eventually drop back down after being blocked. Within the next year or so I am getting new shingles and will then look at doing a tripod peak of the roof mount.
As always I appreciate the time and knowledge offered here.
