I took a look at the satellite view of your house and saw a lot of trees on the south side of your lot in the signal paths.

Unfortunately, I did not see a location on your lot that would avoid them, unless you put the antenna way over by the curb on the east side of the lot or put up a tower to get an antenna above the trees.

Or cut some branches.

There is no magic antenna that will see through trees, and your present antenna already has good gain if working properly.

If you want to experiment with a separate antenna just for WNYW Fox, you could try the Solid Signal HDB91X.

Your signal strengths are probably less than listed on your report, so if you want to also add a preamp you could try the Antennas Direct Juice that is resistant to overload, or the cheaper RCA TVPRAMP1R. I have seen other locations like this where the report said you must not use a preamp because of the risk of overload, but it worked because the trees made the signals a lot weaker.

Consider this is an experiment; no guarantee.
