Most of the DIY antenna designs on the internet are only capable of UHF reception.

If you are committed to DIY antenna building, take a look at a high-VHF Yagi design. Reception of real channel 10 and 11 will be far more likely if you point a H-VHF capable antenna at the station. As mentioned in the linked thread, the design is similar to a Y5713 or YA6713 (Antennacraft & Winegard models).

I would recommend a store bought UVSJ to combine the UHF and VHF antennas into one down-lead.

That begs the question, are you using an analog tuner to search for digital signals?
