Trying for indoor reception was worth the effort... But I'd step up to an outdoor antenna. Consider an RCA ANT-751R pointed at the 172° - 173*° group of signals.
If your antenna is only connected to the tuner of your HTPC, then adding the weak signals from the NE is not that complicated... Consider adding a second antenna and tuner to the system. I'd use an Antennas Direct DB8E facing 67°... Terminate the antenna in a SiliconDust HDHR3-US tuner. Use a wired connection (CAT-5e) between the tuner and HTPC. If the cable run from the DB8E to the tuner is more than 20', add an RCA TVPRAMP1R at the antenna.

If the well is dry and you don't see rain on the horizon, you'll need to dig the hole deeper. (If the antenna can't get the job done, an amp won't fix it.)
