Lost a Channel with Rooftop Antenna that I got with Set top

When I first moved into my new house I was using a Solid Signal HD-Blade antenna that I had used successfully at my last residence closer to the towers. At the new house I picked up 2, 4, 11, and 53. I installed a Metrostar MS2002 on the roof. I plan to feed 4 TVs and have long runs of cable. The power injector is right at the antenna. It added 13, 16, 19, 24 (sometimes), and 59. Sometimes when I scan I pick up channels much further away such as 3, 8, 9, and others. So I'm much happier overall. However, 2 frequently breaks up, oftentimes to the point of being un-watchable. Other times it's OK. 19 is in the same direction at the same distance and comes in fine. I got this channel fine with the HD-Blade. I called Solid Signal and they were not much help. I was only told that this omni directional antenna has a dead spot and I could try rotating it. That doesn't make sense since I get 19. Another piece of the puzzle is that at my last residence I was on a bus route and 2 broke up when buses went by.

Sorry for the long post. Any advice would be much appreciated. Below is my signal report.
