Not knowing what's inside the MANT, I can't say for sure, but I would bet vertical is the default. However, what you're doing works - don't change it!

Additional amps WILL NOT help with WOIO, WYTV, or any other station. Remember that those will only overcome cable loss, not improve the ratio of signal to noise. (Refer back to the noise margin post.) Only a better antenna for VHF will help.

I know you're itching to do better with UHF, but you've got to ask yourself if it's worth the bother. There's no way to avoid the two-antenna route with the added complexity. Tower Guy's or my recommendations will work - look for the best deal.
