antenna suggestions

http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wr...c08d2be8b13566

A couple years ago I tried a cheap flat inside antenna with a signal amplifier it came with. I don't remember the specs on it but I think I was able to pull in:
KXTL-Fox
and one other station.

So then I tried a ClearStream C4 and didn't pull in much more until I plugged it into the cheap amplifier that came with the other antenna. At that point I could get HD versions of CBS, FOX and NBC but not ABC as the KXTV it turns out is VHF. With the C4 in the attic I could almost get the KXTV but not quite. The KRCR station would come in a bit better but it wasn't widescreen HD.

I have a channel master CM3414 splitter/amp that I use with my cable so I can run to the TV and the two tuner HD-Homerun tuner from the same outlet.

Does it look like there would be any hope of a reasonable sized antenna pulling in the signals reliably from this far away inside the attic? (tile roof slopes down on the side the antenna would be pointing)

Or if I move to an exterior antenna how small could I get by with to make the mouting easier?
