Your experience with poor reliability is a fairly common report for the Lava antenna and the other names it's sold under. Sorry to hear you only got 4 months out of it.
Can you fit a very large all channel antenna in your attic, and rotate it?
The Winegard HD8200U, Antennacraft HD1850 or Channel Master CM-3020 all come to mind. If you must attic mount, you are going to need all the performance you can get. The signal loss of wet roofing materials is enough to put all but the top two stations on your report below the level needed for reliable reception.
An alternative may be to roof mount an 8-bay panel antenna and try a VHF antenna such as the Winegard HD5030 in the attic. That would present far less wind load to the weather, and it would offer far greater chance of reliable reception of UHF signals.
