Wow, entirely different report and signal conditions. I've taken the liberty to separate this thread from your earlier one that dealt with another location.

If you have any sort of amplifier, it will overload due to the overpowering signal levels. So be sure to remove any amplifier.

The gain of the DB8 is not needed in this application (though it's directivity may be an asset). How long a cable run is between the antenna and TV? Are there any splitters and if so, are all ports terminated in a tuner or resistor cap? (I'm trying to determine if the existing antenna is likely overloading your tuner.)
