The first thing I'd try is, move the antenna out of the attic. Attics are always a compromise to some degree... Lower signal levels and more interference of various types.

All of the signals listed on your TVFR down to and including WEBA should be received with a VU-190XR, though the aim may have to be adjusted for some.

I'm not a fan of rotators when using a DVR or multiple TVs. However, in this case a rotator may not be needed. First, simply try the 190 outside in the clear... If that fails to deliver all the desired signals from a single fixed aim, then... I'd try aiming the 190 at 128° (shortest elements are the front and the longest elements are the rear of the antenna). Then I'd add a Low-VHF antenna such as the Antennacraft Y526 aimed at WCES (real CH-6) on azimuth 244°. Combine the two antennas using a HLSJ. http://www.solidsignal.com/pview.asp...-%28zhlsj-1%29
