Thanks for the interesting traffic pattern images. I wouldn't know where to find them, but I agree with your suspicions

My limited understanding is that I have a couple of options in respect to a tighter focus antenna or multiple antennas but I am pretty happy with what I have for now.
The tool that is used is to narrow the vertical beamwidth of the antenna by vertical stacking. This is to improve the ratio between the direct signal and the signal reflected from the aircraft. But if the aircraft is in the direct beam, it doesn't work.

The only other idea I have is that some tuners handle multipath errors better than others. Does your TV tuner do better than your HDHR tuner?
