UHF Broadband Reception

We receive our British channels from the Westport UHF 'deflector' system. The channels are in group B from chs. 39 to 49. However we also get TV3 on channel 67 since TV3 (skinflints!) do not broadcast their own signal into Mayo. I use a (grp. W) broadband aerial (square one) with a grp. W masthead amplifier.

We receive our British channels from the Westport UHF 'deflector' system. The channels are in group B from chs. 39 to 49. However we also get TV3 on channel 67 since TV3 (skinflints!) do not broadcast their own signal into Mayo. I use a (grp. W) broadband aerial (square one) with a grp. W masthead amplifier. There is also a channel filter behind the tv blocking out Grp. A signals from the RTE Castlebar (9KW) transmitter. Problem in the summer is that TV3 seems to weaken. I have heard that wideband aerials and amplifiers do not perform well at the very ends of the UHF spectrum, hence the bad TV3 coverage on CH. 67. possibly? Would a Grp. E directional aerial and Grp. E masthead amplifier help here? Or maybe a Grp. E amplifier with the existing aerial on its own? Any suggestions?
