Which preamp do i need ?

Hi,

Here is my tvfool http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wr...ec12e2d3ba0045

Antenna - DB8
Height - 30 ft
Cable length - 30 ft up to 1st tuner. Later I would like to add two more tvs.
Preamp - No

Situation

Earlier i had installed this antenna on wall. I used to get CHCH but no fox. Now I installed the antenna higher but lost CHCH but did get fox SNR of 0 to 15db. It keeps on changing in between 0 and 15db when i see it with my samsung led tv signal meter. I would like to mention SNR of some of my strong and weak channels.

Strong : CBC (5.1) -33db. I see all bars on signal meter
All these channels also have 100% signal - OMNI(47),OMNI2(69.1), 19(TVO), CITYTV(57), CTV(9)

Weak : Fox (29.1) - 0 to 15db. I only see 1 bar and lots of pixelation
TSN (29.2) - 0 to 15db. I only see 1 bar and lots of pixelation

Do I need a preamp. If yes then please help me to choose which one will work for me. From the reading I already done I think that don't need a highgain preamp like CM7777. Please help

Thanks in advance.
