As close as you are to several of the transmitters, your reception may be suffering from multi-path signals. I have found that a signal attenuator may help. This is particularly the case if you live in an apartment with steel structure. Transmitters are in two distinct directions from you--33° by the compass and 145° by the compass. You also have stations at 335° to magnetic compass. I would think that an unamplified VHF/UHF indoor antenna would work well. If your antenna is amplified, then my guess is that the total strength being received is saturating the amplifier.

I don't have an amplified antenna. I live in a suburb with wooden structures. But, I have ceiling heat which has a significant amount of heating elements in the ceiling. This could create some problems, I would presume. So, would the attenuator still help?
In terms of aiming, I have aimed my Terk HDTVi at all the above locations and have been able to improve my reception only in the fact that I have gotten a very bad version of FOX and occasionally PBS.
