OTA Attic Antenna in Northern Virginia

Hello! I'm hoping you can help recommend an attic antenna or solution to improve my OTA reception.

TV Fool Report: http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wr...f1f08e0066c350

Location: Northern Virginia, Washington DC Stations

Desired Channels: Major networks (WRC/NBC, WTTG/Fox, WJLA/ABC, WUSA/CBS) + PBS (WHUT, WETA, WMPT)

Current Setup: I currently have a large outdoor antenna (5-6') in the attic (something like this, but purchased many years ago at Radio Shack) attached to an HDHomeRun in my basement via 50' RG6 Coax Cable. I have a Antronix Residential Amplifier hooked to the bottom of the RG6 which also splits the cable into the back of the HD Homerun.

Current Signal Strength:
Code:
Call	Net	Chan	VChan	SigStren	SigQual	SymQual
WJLA	ABC	7	7.1	100%		80%	100%
WUSA	CBS	9	9.1	100%		75%	100%
WETA	PBS	27	26.1	90%		90%	100%
WHUT	PBS	33	32.1	90%		90-100%	100%
WTTG	Fox	36	5.1	100%		80-95	100%
WMPT	PBS	42	22.1	55%		50%	0%
WRC	NBC	48	4.1	100		80-100	100
Current Notes:
CBS and Fox are a little flakey - I'd like to make them solid! I've also tried this GE Attic Antenna and it did a little worse.

I look forward to your suggestions!
