It's common to find a UHF antenna provides some degraded VHF reception, and the same is often the case with VHF only designs providing some degree of UHF reception. In either case, the results may not be satisfactory, as you're finding.

Your inclination toward the RCA ANT751R is a very reasonable option. Though the effect of aiming through trees may be a problem that you'll need to overcome. I only have a limited understanding of your location, but would encourage you to be open to trying 'outside the box' ideas if you find that the easy / pre-existing mounting location doesn't perform as well as you would hope. You may need to focus on finding a location for the antenna first... then figure out how to connect that signal to your existing distribution cabling.
