Your signal strength and quality are consistent with reception of plenty of signal... But the drop-outs suggest intermittent bursts of noise/interference are present also.
Unfortunately, the Low-VHF channels (real channels 2 through 6, 54 - 72, 74 - 88 MHz) is impacted by interference from electrical and electronic devices in and outside your home, more than the High-VHF and UHF bands.
To overcome this extra noise/interference, use an antenna with directional gain in the L-VHF band... And just as importantly, locate the antenna outside, in the clear, free of obstructions. (If the antenna is in the attic, it will receive less desired signal and be closer to sources of interference.) The 7084 recommended by teleview is a the correct type in this case.
