Antenna Help For Fenton MI

Last year I moved into a 2-story house with a roomy attic (Signal report - http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wr...8e03465c4c0405). I had a powered antenna of unknown type in the living room, connected directly to the TV. In the spring I finally got around to installing the antenna in the attic, running approximately 90' of coax from the antenna to a powered splitter in the basement (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...ilpage_o08_s00), and then running another 50' of coax back to the TV in the living room. The splitter now also supplies another TV on the second floor approximately 70' away.

The setup worked well for a little while, until the leaves on the trees started coming in (the neighborhood is full of mature trees), whereupon I lost WJRT and WXYZ. Lately, I have been getting crappy reception on almost all the stations, I believe due to the wind stirring up the falling leaves. Fortunately most leaves should be gone in a few weeks and I should be back to good reception for the next six months.

Anyhow, I would like an antenna recommendation that would help me get good reception year-round. I understand this may not be possible, due to the antenna being in the attic and the house being surrounded by mature trees, but I would like to make the best effort possible.

Thanks in advance for your help!
