The signals do look better but could be stronger. How much more time and money are you willing to spend on further experiments?

Radio Shack brand. Turns out I have a local radio shack that is still around!
Time: A bit. I think I've decided that regardless of nearly being at the end of my window to simply return the Tivo OTA, I am not going to. I got in on the $299 deal with Lifetime service, and it looks like I can pretty easily sell it for right around that if I decide it's just not going to work out.
Money... It depends! I don't like "wasting" money, so spending on stuff that may yield no results and cannot be returned is not particularly appealing. That said, I've tried a $30, a $50, and now a $100 antenna. I'm willing to go higher if it would yield the right results, although again roof access is a problem for me.
I spent a little longer looking around my neighborhood for TV antennas. I've seen enough while shopping that I very well might have recognized one had I seen ANY house that had one up. Unfortunately, I did not see a single house with an antenna on the roof. I did however see a LOT of dishes pointing south....
