You can also try bypassing the splitter & run the cable to just one outlet & see if that improves reliability. You may need a distribution amplifier if running to 1 set solves the problem.

Could be FM, but I doubt it. The only channel I see in danger of FM interfernce in your area would be 8. The second harmonic from KPFT falls right on top of channel 8's frequency. No harmonics fall on 13 that I see.
Recently I have discovered that FM interference is not only on the harmonics of the FM, but can be a product of the TV channel and the FM station's frequency combined forming an interfering frequency other than a harmonic of the FM carrier . For that reason I always recommend trying a trap when there is a VHF channel loss. This may or may not be your problem, but it's an easy process of elimination.
