High VHF problem

Hi there-

Hoping someone can help me. First, here's our TVFool report:

http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wr...46ae9379d62802

As you can see, we live in the NYC area (central NJ) and should have line-of-sight reception for most stations. I installed a Winegard HD7694P High Definition VHF/UHF Antenna matched with a RadioShack® High-Gain HDTV-FM Signal Amplifier (Model: 15-259). It is mast-mounted at the top of a gable, appox 25 feet AGL and the cable run is well below 100 feet.

TV model is an LG 37LK450 37-Inch 1080p 60 Hz LCD HDTV.

We used the TVFool report to position the antenna directionally (using a compass, of course). After a bunch of reading sounds I think I have what seems like a High-VHF reception problem.

We are near some high-voltage transmission lines (maybe 200 yards away), in case this info is helpful in that interference could be a problem.

Someone in one of the threads here indicated adding a second antenna, an Antennacraft Y5713 High VHF antenna. Anyone think this would help?

I greatly appreciate any insight anyone could provide!
