Problem with reception 4.1, 7.1, 29.1, 49.1 in Toronto, ON

I moved to OTA 2 years ago and did all of the installation myself. I bought all the neccessary parts from Save & Replay. According to their website I have potential of getting these channels.

So far I have been getting channels consistently which is pretty good.
2.1 WGRZDT
2.2 WGRZDT2
4.1 WIVBDT
5.1 CBLTDT
7.1 WKBWDT
9.1 CFTODT
11.1 CHCHDT
17.1 WNEDDT
17.3 WNEDDT3
19.1 CICADT
23.1 WNLODT
25.1 CBLFTDT
29.1 WUTVDT
29.2 WUTVDT2
40.1 CJMTDT
41.1 CIIID41
47.1 CFMTDT
49.1 WNYODT
57.1 CITYDT

Only recently I have been finding that I am unable to get channel 4.1, 7.1, 29.1, 49.1 consistently. So I was wondering if I should upgrade my antenna or invest in a pre-amp.
A link to my TV Fool report is here

My current antenna is Channel Master 4221HD which I mounted on the roof and pointed towards Buffalo stations. I grounded the cable coming from the antenna with a coax grounding block at a point near where the cable enters my house. Once inside the house I have a Channel Master 3412 MultiSwitch (Distribution Amp) to split the signal to two hd tvs.

I was wondering if I should get a pre-amp like Channel Master 7777 or Channel Master 7778. Or I looked at ebay for Sunkey Antenna. I don't know how good this antenna is though considering its only $25. Or should I invest in another antenna. I would like to get channels 4.1, 7.1, 29.1 and 49.1 again.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
