C2V not quite enough

Signal analysis here.

The stations I care about are the ones at 93 and 97 degrees azimuth.

With a C2V attached to the side of my home (facing the towers; up near the eaves), I'm getting excellent signal (90+ percent signal strength/quality on HDHomerun tuners) on 5, 11, 29, 38 (virt 38), and 49.

22 and 27 (both are to my local ABC affiliate) are weak, with 65% strength and 50% quality. Actual picture flips in and out intermittently.

I'm planning to replace the C2V with a DB4e to improve the UHF situation. Looking for help on a VHF antenna to add to the mix. Wall-mountability is key, preferably everything on a 40" J-mount.

Alternatively, wondering whether I could add (hack in) the "ClearStreamâ„¢ 2 VHF Reflector Assembly" to the DB4e somehow (not a standard practice, I know). Or maybe some sort of DIY dipole?

Help! Thanks.
