I would not use an amplified antenna. The HD blade also lacks support for real channels 2 through 6. The 'blade' would be a step backward in your application.

The adjustable length rods on your existing antenna can be set to support low frequency reception by setting them at or close to their maximum length. The Terk HDTVi (not the HDTVa) would be my choice of indoor antennas, but it's not going to offer any added gain for reception of the two L-VHF signals, CH-2 & Ch-6 compared to the antenna you've already got. A lager antenna such as the AC9 and larger variations of that type would offer a bit more L-VHF performance... But they still need to be located and aimed where there is enough signal of sufficient quality.

For success, your ideal option is a clear western view. aiming 90 degrees off of the ideal line is just about the worst aim, at least theoretically.
