I would rather not have to purchase another antenna strictly for VHF (7-13)

You have already demonstrated that you are right on the edge of reception of KNXV (by adjusting aim point), that gives me quite a bit of confidence that you are going to be able get KNXV. The numbers indicate the signal from KPPX is also strong enough to receive with the gain offered by the XG-91. The consumer grade alternative to the XG-91 would be a virtually identical Winegard (as measured by gain). After that you would need to look into commercial antennas or a site-built rhombic array, (a serious hobbyist project).
There is nothing wrong with trying to reuse your existing antenna as a VHF only antenna. Simply connect it to the VHF input port on the 10G221.
