varied reception problems

Hi;
I used to get great TV reception from my roof antenna (on a a 'cable-ready' HDTV purchased a few years ago), as well as from rabbit-ears on an old analogue TV with a HDTV converter box, until FCC required general transmission upgrade which was made.
Since the upgrade, I have a number of reception problems with which I hope you can help.
I should mention that I live near the Hudson River, and close to a very large bridge (Verrazano).
My report is located at:

Specific problems as follows.
1) The rooftop antenna with the HDTV fails to get adequate signal on channels 66.1, 13.1, and 50.1, for which there is good signal strength present on my HDTV converter box/ analogue TV. On those channels which I receive clearly, there is never any intermittent loss of strength or interference present.
2) On my old analogue TV, I receive all local network channels (including the ones mentioned above), but every time a boat travels on the river ~150 ft. below me I get interference or complete signal loss.
I'm using a Radio Shack "amplified" rabbit ears, with a Zenith converter box.

Any suggestions to help these problems?
Thanks for your attention.
