I put up a 91XG with similar signal strengths/distance & was pleasantly surprised at the results. With noise margins below -13, 5 stations have decent reliability & 3 more are watchable 50% or more of the time. We ended up using the Winegard 4800 UHF only preamp. It worked noticeably better than the CM7777.
Good luck!!

Second that on the 91XG. I am getting rock solid reception on Channel 15 which is 75 miles away over hilly terrain despite the fact the NM is at about 9.6. The signal strength reads consistently around 70% or even a little higher on this channel!
NoStaticAtAll. How much better is the 4800 pre amp when compared to the 7777? Did you see across the board improvement in signal strength on every channel? Or were you able to pick up more stations with the 4800 than you have with the 7777?
