You are doing better than your report suggests in terms of Anchorage.
If I had your results and just wanted to add CBS and FOX, I'd combine an Antennas Direct DB8e to your VHF system and aim the DB8e to magnetic 209 and catch those translators mentioned above to complete your set of major networks. Those translators would hold more promise than a double digit negative db signal.
Your VHF performance is quite good, I don't think you have a system issue. If you were having cabling issues, I'd expect the red shaded Anchorage signals to not be reliable as the weakest signals would be gone.
Antenna 1: Existing VHF
Antenna 2: Antennas Direct DB8e. Both panels to magnetic 209
*mount DB8e 4' below VHF antenna
Combine antennas via a Antennas Direct EU385CF combiner.
You haven't mentioned how long your coax run is. However, with one TV unless you are at a very long run, a preamp is likely unneeded.
I'm approaching this from the standpoint of what gets you the last two signals you want.
Cheers

The way I see it, I can try a different tuner or a different antenna.
