Hi all,
Looking for some expert advice.
My signal analasys:

My house sits in a valley and is surrounded by trees.
I was curious to see if i could receive OTA TV and purchased an Antennacraft HBU33 and a pre-amp/indoor amp from my local RS.
I mounted the antenna/amp approximately 30ft above ground and am using the old RG6 cable from the existing DirectTV dishes.
ive tweaked the antenna direction from anywhere between 79º-92º. I receive all the majors and then some and the strongest station is ABC 7.1 coming in at a max of 70%. All other stations fluctuate between 35% and 50%. I am pleased with the resulsts but I get some dropouts and pixilating and think I could fix it with some better equipment.
My thoughts are either:
1- install a CM4228, CM7777, Winegard YA1713 and a rotor
2- install a Winegard hd8200u and an amp if necessary
or
3- install a Tereves DAT 75, read they are good for weak signal areas due to valleys and trees.
Regardless of what I end up installing I will be upgrading the cables to new Quad Shielded RG6 and new grounding hardware, just want to do it all at the same time.
Thanks in advance!
