The C2V should be completely adequate for your location, therefore there is a problem. I see three distinct possibilities:
1. Verify you did not reverse the coax cables on the VHF module as that will cause your exact symptom.
2. Get rid of what you're calling the "Channel View model 0747", it does not belong in the system. Most likely, you have an old, leftover power supply from a Channel Master CM7777 or CM7778 preamp still in the system. I'll have to check once I get to the lab, but it may well have burned out the VHF module due to applying power where power doesn't belong.
3. Solar panels have earned a deserved reputation for radiating interference into the VHF bands. Without a spectrum analyzer, though, this can only be determined by a process of elimination which still leaves considerable opportunity for misdiagnosis.
