Your antenna must be facing south to southeast (that's where the signals come from, after all) and you probably need to get the antenna out of the basement since anything taller than a doghouse will tend to block the signals from getting to the antenna.
Reception is also going to be limited by anything outside the home that is in the signal path such as trees, and neighboring homes or buildings. The antenna cannot catch that which does not arrive at its elements.
A C2 is my all-time favorite UHF antenna and is what I'd suggest for your situation. You do not need VHF since there is no prospect for indoor reception of any VHF station. Ironically, the GE antenna you tried and returned does fairly well on VHF, but it must be oriented horizontally, like a TV sound bar.
