I am in a similar boat as you. I am trying to get HDTV OTA working in the first place. I finally had some success today. Here's what I did.
I have lots of tall trees (~70') in the yard i nthe direction I need to go. If you have a clearing in the direction you need to point, getting much higher won't help. I suggest maybe another 10'. The biggest thing I did was get a different antenna I had the 4228 and it didn't work out. I then got the 4248 and with my mast at 46' pointing through LOTS of trees, I could get PBS and ABC from Boston. At 36', nothing worked. I dare not go any higher by myself, so I am waiting for some friends to see how high I need to get.
So, in summary, try going higher first, but if that doesn't work, then try the 4248 with the additional height.
Good luck.
