Antenna advice

I am looking for advice on improving reception and/or eliminating the need to rotate the antenna. Today, without rotating, I am receiving pretty much all of the channels available in my area over the air with a radio shack antenna (about 9feet long) that is in my attic. It is equiped with a rotator but would like to get to the point where I can install a DVR device and not have to worry about pointing the antenna. Some days though, I lose either NBC or FOX and wind up spending a lot of time re-scanning and rotating the antenna. It's frustrating because sometimes, like today, it's perfect.

Today, without rotation, I am getting 6.1, 6.2, 8.1,8.2, 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, 13.1, 13.2 14(local ova community tv) 23.1, 35.1, 35.2 51.1, and 51.2

A couple of days ago, I sent an hour trying to get FOX 23 to come in.

Here is the data link:

Looking to upgrade to make it more reliable (like the direct tv that I ditched)

I would consider moving the antenna to the peak of the roof which is at around 35 feet above the ground. Or wonder about just installing a second antenna in the attic to point towards the FOX/PBS location.

I have just one tv in the house which is a panasonic lcd hd tv.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
