Do I need to go to the roof or is there a fix?

I went the cheap route with an Antenna,

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...ilpage_o01_s00

I installed it in my attic 80% of the time the picture is crystal clear and perfect and the rest of the time it is either slightly or heavily pixelated.

Here is the signal report, I am about 29 miles from the towers in Philadelphia and I am mainly concerned about ABC, CBS, NBC Fox, and PBS. I get the NJ PBS so I do not need the Philly PBS. My main problems seem to come from ABC and CBS. My antenna is in the attic estimated at about 25 feet. We have some heavy trees and the antenna is at or slightly below the tree-line.

I tried adding an RCA amplifier but my signal cuts out completely when I add it. One TV run is about 25 feet and the other is about 75 feet. The picture is similar on both TVs.

Based on the signal report, I was expecting no issues. Do you think I have to go to the rooftop or should I try to find better spots in the attc? Should an amplifier help, I can't understand why my picture cuts out when I add an amplifier unless it is defective. Any help would be appreciated.
