Help I don't know what type of antenna I need

http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wr...03d9d62c50fc7b

I live in a mountainous area and we are receiving channel NBC 12.1 consistently, sometimes even without a booster. We would love to get more of the networks and I really don't know what type of antenna we need. We have a homemade UHF right now and it picks up those and about 9 PBS stations. It actually picks up better than the one we were using. We sometimes get 45.1 and 20.1 on a fluke, usually very early morning and sometimes at midday. I would love to get more channels consistently. We have never picked up the channels that are shown in the green or red categories on this list even though they are closest. We used to use a VHF/UHF antenna from radio shack and it picked up more analog before the digital transition. We could get almost every network channel. Thanks for your help.

ETA: It shows the higher we go, the worse the channels get so I just put in 5 ft. We have the ability to go up to 25 feet with our antenna pole.
