Looking for help with antenna selection

First off, here's my report.
http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wr...c08dd9ba313a85

I live approx 45 miles outside of the stations in the Philly area. I installed the Clearstream C2V in the attic over the weekend and it works great, except I am unable to pick up WPVI & WHYY which broadcast on lo VHF. The C2V only has a 30 mi range on VHF, UHF reception is great with its 50 mi range. I'm returning it this week but I'm looking for an antenna that will pick up both UHF & VHF out of Philly. Right now I'm looking at either the Winegard HD7084P or the Master Channel CM5016. Also I'm planning on running to 6 tvs, currently the C2V is running to 3 tvs without any issues. I running through an fm trap to a amplified splitter left behind from the cable company. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

Mounting your antenna, whichever one you end up choosing, outdoors and up in the air will do wonders for reception reliability. If you're not successful with your attic location, please keep this in mind.

I do understand that, and will be mounting the new antenna on the roof. I was actually pleasantly surprised with how well the C2V works located in my attic. Reception has been fantastic for what it is, I just need something with better vhf range.

Sure, that's understandable. A single VHF dipole is somewhat limited in what it can pick up.
