Well, for starters, I was getting "free" cable for some time so I never bothered with an antenna as I was satisfied with the quality of the cable channels. That ended recently and because I'm a cheap college student I decided I would try and build my own antenna.
I found some plans for a DB4 antenna and it works much better than I anticipated. However there is a tiny issue. I receive all the channels I want on the TV however, over at my computer/htpc, I am missing a couple of channels. The most important one is 56.1 - ion.
Just wondering what I can do to improve the reception on the computer. Not sure if I should add an amp or try and remove some cable length. I have used a manufactured antenna (Winegard Freevision) at this location before and didn't near as good reception as my homemade antenna.

I also attached a crude drawing of my setup.
