If you simply want to buy a new antenna, then I would suggest it have High-VHF and UHF capability, and that it be more directional than what you presently have. The Winegard HD7694P fits all of those criteria. Reiterating my previous comments, I would not use any sort of amplifier.

Still, if you aim into trees, buildings, or in the wrong direction, the new antenna will produce disappointing results as well.
The antenna is aimed 160° per my iphone compass. Tried in other directions but loose signal. Thinking I will try it at 140° angle since there are many channels in 137° and 148° range.

Attic and roof are out of question... not my cup of tea ()

Its sad that the VHF reflector will only get me 2 channels !!!!

Looked up the antenna you mentioned on Amazon... the price is all over the map... best I found is:

Also, what's the draw back of using an amplifier? With digital TV I gues you either get the TV or you don't, is there a shade of gray that the amplifier will restrict?
