Post Setup advice for my location in San Diego - Solved

I'm having a little trouble with my setup and I'm trying to figure out the best solution. I live central in San Diego but because of my location I'm having trouble with a couple of the channels.
XETV-DT (Real: 23, Virt: 6.1 CW) doesn't come in at all.
KNSD-DT (Real: 40, Virt: 39.1 NBC) very spotty reception.
KBNT-DT (Real: 51) doesn't come in at all.

Signal analysis:

My setup is as follows:
-- Antenna -->CM-4220HD mounted on the roof 15 ft from the ground
-- 25 ft cable goes into Channel Vision CVT-2/8PIA-III 8 way splitter. I'm only using 2 of these and I have terminated the rest of them. One side goes directly to another TV with a DTV PAL box. Channels 6 and 39 come in here at about 70% strength.
-- The other split goes into my computer via 20 ft cable. Here it gets split into 2 tunner cards (HDTV Fusion Gold RT 5). Here I can't see the 3 channels in question.
I am surrounded by hills which I think it is impacting my signal, but everything else comes in fine (everything else includes Virt: 10.1, 8.1, 69.1, 51.1 and 15.1 I don't really watch the rest)

Any suggestions on what I need to do to improve my signal.
Another antenna? a pre-amp? Any recommednation would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry for the long and confusing post but I'm trying to include any info that can help.
Thanks from San Diego
