Looking at those TVFool results, it sounds like there is some serious terrain between you and the antenna. I had bought this one previously:

I tested it in the basement of my house 25km from the antenna, and it worked great. Bought it for the trailer and when I was setting it up the campground owner told me I was wasting my time, there was no way I'd get a signal. I was able to get a couple of channels out there. I did end up returning the antenna as the signals were too choppy. However for your use it may do the trick. Worst case is you can also return it if need be.
