Holy cow! You have VERY strong signals! All you should need is a $3.99 set of rabbit ears/ loop antenna from Radio Shack and you should get all the channels in the green section of the table in your report. Under no circumstances should you use any sort of amplifier!

Note that the top two signals have their NM highlighted in red. This is a warning that they are so strong that they can easily overload your tuner. The freezing you see is caused by either your tuner overloading or by strong reflections that can "confuse" ( for lack of a better term) your receiver.

If channels still freeze with the rabbit ear/loop antenna, try the Terk HDTVi. It can discriminate between reflected signals better than a loop can.

Good luck!
