HELP: reception freezing for PBS/FOX...

Hi,

The 9ers were about to score, and my screen froze.. that was a while ago... problem still happens. PBS stations freeze frequently for several seconds... I've Clearstream 2V installed as shown in the picture. The redwood trees are obstructing it somewhat, and the city won't let me chop chop.

The attached picture shows my anteanna and the direction (sorta N, a bit left), and the garage which also has metal roof. The redwood trees can be seen too...

Q1: I've two installers telling me 2 different things. One says the metal roof is causing the signal issues, other says, metal roofs affect analog only, not digital! Who is correct?

Q2: my neighbour got Channel Master 4228HD, and he claims it helped a lot. Is that better?

Q3: one installer is suggesting installing it on a pole off the garage wall, so the metal roof would be behind it, would that make a difference?

Finally, what else could do to be able to watch it without freezing often... I really would like to avoid comcast since they started encrypting the free signals!!!

thanks a lot, so nice i can come here for help. it's very confusing...
