Unhappy 91XG out in the sticks. To preamp or not to preamp ?

So I bought a 91XG and a RCA ANT(something mini yagi for VHF (KLTV)) combined with a UVSJ . I'm not picking up PBS, and the CW sometimes (and one more that I forgot..) .

Would the preamp help keep the stations that die out and come back when they feel like it/want to / whatever ?

I have the RCA pointed at KLTV for local news, and the 91XG towards Shreveport just for all the big ones (NBC, CBS, ABC , Fox) and they keep about 65 or better and stay mostly stable all the time.

I have the antennas on a 30 foot pole, 45 feet of cable down to the grounding block, 10 grounding block to house, 2 - 4's feets to connect the antennas to the UVSJ. (63 feet in all). I'm also thinking about splitting it up in the house later and running it to a PC for DVR recordings over the PC later.

I'm betting the preamp would be a good idea even before the splitter and extra 25-35 feet to get it back here to a PC ? Or am I wasting time unless I go splitting it up trying to get the other channels that die out ?
