Welcome to the forum.

Your tvfool report looks much worse than the generic Manchester report here:

Your report is only resolved to "block level." Can you give us a more accurate tvfool report for your exact location? It is critical for an accurate analysis. If you can't enter your exact address or coordinates using the >> Click HERE << on the tvfool.com entry page, try using the interactive maps feature >> Start MAPS << and move the teardrop indicator to the exact location of your antenna. Then, generate a report, after entering antenna height, by clicking on Make Radar Plot at the upper right of the map.

Your choice of the 91xg is a good one for your needed channels from Boston because it has more gain than the UHF section of the 2020 according to the CM and AD documents.

Does anyone know if this will do the trick?
I can't really say for sure if it will do the trick, but it's your best shot without going to more exotic and expensive solutions like stacking 91XGs or a taller tower. The increased gain of the AD antenna should improve your NM, but 2Edge signals will not be 100 percent reliable. You will just have to try it.

It would be interesting to see how much difference there would be in your tvfool report by increasing the height of the antenna.

Please let us know how the testing goes.

Best regards,
