New to the forum need some help

Hello from Pa. I need some advise on my OTA set-up. I have a Winegard Freevision antenna mounted about 15 ft AGL. According to tv fool most of my broadcast towers are within 15 miles in a westerly direction. ( 260-262 degrees ). For the most part reception is good except for occasional pixeling mostly on WHP 21. I ordered a EZHD antenna from Dennys Antennas in Michigan. I will be looking to relocate this antenna hoping for better outcome. I live outside Harrisburg in a rual setting with trees and hills around. Thanks for any help, here is my TV Fool info looking to get channels in the green zone. Jim.

Something more to add, I have about 50ft. of coax from antenna to a splitter then about 20 ft. to each of two tv's. On one tv I get 15 channels all very good reception. The other tv I only get 11 channels and the CBS is usually good during the day and gets worse at night. If I eliminate the splitter the tv that gets 11 will usually get 15, do I need an amplifier or preamp? Thanks, Jim.

Put up new antenna in a different location got all 15 channels on both tv's. Had some minor pixeling at times so I replaced rg 59 coax with rg 6. Now I get all 15 channels on one tv and only 14 on the other. I have tried rescanning and eliminate the splitter nothing helped. Why would I lose one channel?

Update Feb. 6, 2019. Erratic reception, I go days where all 15 channels are fine, then I start getting pixeling on a couple channels then one channel becomes unavailable can not rescan and get it back. Need help from someone.
