The CS-2 should be enough antenna for your situation when I look at your TV Fool report. Indoor mounting is at the top of my list of 'possible causes of trouble'. The building construction and interference from electronic devises in the home can cause quite a bit of trouble. Now that spring is getting underway, trees are going to cause more attenuation of signals also.
Your idea of moving the antenna to an upstairs location is quite reasonable. I agree that you should try using a cable that allows you more freedom to experiment with mounting location.
As long as you're experimenting, try the CS-2 outdoors, facing SW. Any antenna will do best if it has a clear and unobstructed view of the transmitting antenna.
Without any knowledge of changes to either station's antennas or transmitters, I'd suggest that you contact their engineering departments if that is still a question in your mind. I would expect you will find the engineering staff to be friendly and helpful.
I wouldn't buy another antenna until I had exhausted other reasonable options.
