Default Poor Reception from old Radioshack Antenna

I have a VU-110XR VHF/UHF/FM Antenna in my attic and its connected to 2 HDTVs and 1 analog TV that is connected to a Digitalstream DTV converter box and I am receiving channels 2,4, and 7 very well, though 7 comes in poorly, the rest of them the TVs pick up but when I go to the channel it says poor signal quality.I Live in Northern New Jersey if this has anything to do with the problem, The HDTVs are having the same problems, what could I do to resolve this issue?

Welcome to the Forum

Please do a TVFool plot so we can evaluate your reception.

TV Fool

Put in the height above ground for your antenna otherwise it defaults to 30 ft.

Look on the resulting page that probably makes no sense, but there is a bold link at the top, and just post it back here. then we can see your reception and make suggestions.

Also last I checked TV signals don't have any prejudice to Northern New Jersey, but NBC does where I live (long long story and inside joke on the forum).
