Hello Strav,
I wouldn't give up on the CM5016 at this point. You mention trees, yes, they can have a detrimental effect on signal reception.
I'd do few things: first, test a few alternate locations on your roof. Sometimes moving a few inches to a few feet can improve reception quality. Second: yes, if a taller mast pipe is easily obtained, try that if you find a better performing location on your roof.
Are you testing this with a single lead of coax off the antenna into one TV? I ask this because establishing baseline performance of your antenna and coax is good practice. When you start adding splitters and such, it makes the problem step much easier to identify.
Regards,
SS
