I'd suggest to switch to an antenna with higher gain and good directional adjustment. As someone surmised, above, TV mfgs don't have to put excellent tuners in their boxes because a majority of viewers have a good signal delivered to their house that is not OTA.
Height and antenna design mean everything. The chances of buying a screen that has a significantly better tuner are low. Have you ever looked inside a newer LCD screen chassis? There is just not that much in there.
FWIW, I built my own antenna and attached it to a 6' mast in an afternoon. The reception and picture quality of the screen inside the trailer is as good as the plasma sets inside the house, signal fed by cable.
