Problem with one channel

http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wr...d243aaadf53b23


Hopefully I won't leave any info out. There are four main channels I would like to receive. CBS, NBC, ABC, FOX. The problem is with fox. I can get ABC, NBC, CBS perfect. FOX and ABC are the same distance and direction. So why can ABC be so good and have trouble with FOX? I'm using a RCA ant751 antenna. It's in the attic( I know get it out of there). To make it worse plywood on roof has a radiant barrier (foil). My house is positioned so that the antenna points out the end which is just wood/vinyl( It's not pointed at the roof). The signal meter on my channel master dvr+ shows great numbers for everything but fox. I'm guessing a preamp will not help. Would a larger antenna help? Roof mount will require renting something to install. So my only other option is mounting it lower on the outside end that faces the stations. Mounting outside will be on opposite end from service entry.(ground) So from what I've heard from others that will mean a ground rod driven on that end and wire to connect to service ground rod. Thanks for any advice.
