I'd say that replacing antennas is unlikely to snag you any more stations. What you can try is to move the HDB8X antenna around to try to find an optimum height and aim plus try to avoid trees toward 242 degrees. Even then, I'd expect only 4 (51) to be the one extra station you might pick up.

In your location the angle up to the hills that block channel 51 are elevated 3.7 degrees. Theoretically, the optimum antenna heights to achieve a 3.7 degree take-off angle are 5.5' and 17'.
