Thanks again to all for the wonderful help
I will point it SE and see what we can see.

As Dave stated, powerful signals from television stations and other sources (FM, police, fire, etc.) can overload an amplifier. If that happens, the output from the amplifier will be a distorted version of the input signal. A distorted signal will be more difficult for the tuner to decode error free data from. If the error rate is too high, the video and audio may be unrecoverable. So, using an amplifier when one is not needed, can give you lower quality signal.
Another possible source of trouble is faulty connectors and water in the coax.
Again, I agree with Dave, your antenna choice should be providing excellent reception of all the station in the green section of your report, if it's aimed toward the group of stations at about 115° compass.
