Line Amp?

I live in a wooded area in Jefferson Co.  near Golden Lake.  I purchased a Channel Master (can't remember model) directional antenna, which is their top of the line unit.

I am getting digital signal strength from NBC, ABC in the 85% range, and 63% from CBS, which allows awesome HDTV reception Off Air for the first two stations, and marginal (off and on) reception from CBS.

All Milwaukee stations.

My problem is UPN and most of all WB.  My wife loves Smallville and we are trying to decide on what line amp to purchase.  I tried a Home Depot 20 dB unit, with no increase in signal at all.

Can anyone help.

We have a LCD 50" Sony Monitor and Denon 935 Receiver, Superdish 500 from Dish Network.

I live in West Bend.  I was able to get 6 digital only after removing my distribution amp and all unnecessary splitters (including not passing through my vcr and cable loop-out on my tv.  I now get everything well including 18, 22, 24, etc.  Sometimes 58 is a problem, but has been ok recently.  I have a roof antenna and decent elevation.
