Should I replace my current antenna?

Here is my report:

http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wr...1ddae3994bf8ba

My current setup includes an Antennas Direct DB4, 15 ft of mast, and a signal booster connected to a single tv. This setup was configured for our previous residence. We have since moved, and now we are lucky to get a few channels when it's not raining or below freezing.

Most of our signals come from the southeast. We now live in a low place, with a line of trees to the south. The hill to the south has large apartment buildings on top.

I would like to have a setup that gets all available channels to the southeast, including the one VHF Channel (11), with the signal split 3 to 4 ways. I am considering the ClearStream 2V , or the ClearStream 4.

My concern is the 2V isn't big enough, and the 4 may not get the one VHF channel we are missing.

Oh yeah, I can't get the interactive map to work for me.

Thank you for taking the time to advise me,
Anne
