I see a couple things that may be limiting reception.

First off, the 8700 pre amp is not really ideal for your situation. It is designed for far suburban/near fringe areas & is likely overloading. The net result is loss of some or all of the weakest stations as they are overwhelmed by the stronger local channels.

The 2nd thing is the close by FM stations as they may also overwhelm the preamp. The FM trap on the preamp may not be enough to address the situation. The 8200 is also a great FM antenna, which multiplies the problem.

I would start by connecting the antenna directly to 1 TV & report back your findings.
