First thing I would suggest would be to remove the RS amp. Your antenna has a built in 10db amp already and it's almost never a good idea to use two amps. Try that and see it it improves the reception.
A few other suggestions...
The
db antennas I mentioned above are great for uhf and good at upper high band vhf but I doubt they'd do much for the pbs channel since it's on ch. 8 (I missed that fact while reviewing your tvfool info yesterday).
I think your best bet would be to do what Piggie said...

If you don't want to go that route (those antennas are rather expensive) then at the very least you'll want to get your current antenna up higher. 10 feet or so could make a huge difference.

Another part of our problem is that our house is surrounded by trees.

That's not good but with the strong signals in your area they may not present much of a problem but it's anyones guess.
One more thing, did you install the RCA706 yourself or was it already there when you moved in? I ask because if it was already there was there a power supply inside the house to feed the antennas amp?
