As tempting as the ad copy may make an amplifier sound, you'll likely be adding trouble due to the many strong signals overloading the amplifier which would result in less reliable reception. It's doubtful that your problem is due to simple raw signal strength (which is often less important than signal quality).
The signal from KVIE is broadcast on real channel 9, a High-VHF channel. The ANT-1400R is primarily a UHF design (though it has limited ability to receive some VHF signal).
I would opt for an RCA ANT-751 or better yet, a Winegard HD7000R mounted on the easel you've mentioned. The ANT-751 has designed support for High-VHF (real channels 7 through 13) as well as UHF (real channels 14 through 51). Better yet, the HD7000R adds support for real channels 2 through 6 (Low-VHF).
Mounted outdoors, you'll be placing the antenna in a location with better raw signal power, less noise and interference from electrical and electronic devices in your home, and perhaps just as important as any other factor, less reflections that would be the source of multi-path interference.
