TV signals are very quirky. Example:

Here at my home when I first installed a Channel Bastard 4228 8 bay I only received about half of the signals in KC which are in the yellow zone. Then when I switched to a Antennacraft U8000 8 bay I received identical performance on the same channels while the others were not there. Even after adding a pre amp not much difference.

But... I switched over to a Antennacraft MXU59 Yagi style antenna and suddenly every single channel in yellow came in. Adding a pre amp gave me a strong signal on every channel! And then two of my red zone signals also started to come in after pointing the antenna towards Columbia.

Now I am using a 91XG and currently testing two properly phased and coupled Channel Bastard 4221 HD antennas on the roof. This configuration at a few feet lower than the 91XG is actually giving me a antenna with more rejection of side and backside signals as well as slightly more gain than the 91XG.

My guess is that the 91XG or a cheaper Yagi like the MXU59 should do the trick for you.
