based on your tvfool you get very strong signals in your location from a tower that is 50miles away! I'm suprised your unable to pull in channels with a simple rabbit ear antenna attached to your tv.

The antenna that you currently have is good for UHF, but not for VHF....and it fakes its gain via a built in amplifier. Obviously, it wont be able to amplify a signal it cant pull in. Some other antennas may not have a built in amplifier, but do a better job of pulling in weak singals.

  1. Does the antenna have to be on the roof? If you put it in the attic, than you wont have to deal with weather conditions. I would recommend fixing up your current antenna, stick it in the attic and see what happens.

  2. How many tvs is your antenna feeding? If it is more than 1, than you may need to get an external pre-amp for your new antenna (unless it has an amp built in).

  3. Is size an issue? The current antenna you have is a yaggi which is good for UHF, while LPDA (the big ones) are better for VHF. some may suggest a leaf antenna, but it wont help you pick up VHF-hi

    Here are 2 excellent quality VHF-hi/UHF yagii antennas (similar to what you have) in all metal construction. They do not have amplifiers.
    A
    B

    if you are willing to try the DIY route, here are some INDOOR antennas:
    UHF
    VHF

    possible OUTDOOR if made correctly:
    UHF/VHF

TV Tuner or TV Capture Card (something like this, but I can't recommend this specific one or not) for a PC will allow you to watch OTA shows on your computer. Get a recording program and you're set. You already own a PC so you're halfway there.

To add: Roku has a program called Plex. You install a small server on the PC where you recorded the show, and the shows will appear on your Roku almost as soon as they're on your computer. You get it free for 30 days and i think it's $5 to buy it outright after that.
