Red face Another guy that needs help picking up stations

I'm having trouble picking up stations and this is really confusing me. I have two Tivo premieres connected through a monoprice splitter My antenna is a Clearstream 2 that I got with the Tive through the Best Buy bundle. My biggest problem is that I don't know how to aim this thing. I tried mounting several different places inside and outside but the only place I could get any sort of stable reception is in the bedroom upstairs. So I mounted it there... in the closet. At around 25ft, this is the highest place I've tried. It's passable but I still can't pick up a few stations very well, the most important one that I'm lacking is PBS.

I want to note that the reception in my garage behind cinder blocks was better than ANYTHING I got outside. No trees, the house next door is kinda close, but from the front of my house I have a perfect LOS.

Here's my TV Fool reports...

@ 10 FEET http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wr...0b8610e361f642

@ 25 FEET http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wr...0b86e25ae1b35d

@ 50 FEET http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wr...0b8631535c74e7

On average, my Tivo reads
6.1 (FOX) ~ upper 60s
10.1 (PBS) ~ mid 20s
13.1 (NBC) ~ mid 70s
21.1 (CW) ~ upper 80s
23.1 (IND) ~ upper 50s
33.1 (ABC) ~mid 50s
34.1 (HSN) ~ mid 20s
42.1 (CBS) ~ upper 80s
68.1 (MYN) ~ lower 90s

Everything else is 0.
