You can probably get some reception from inside an attic. But the predicted signal levels and path profile of the major network affiliates such as WXIA (NBC) and WSB (ABC) call for an antenna system to be mounted outdoors, clear of obstructions such as buildings (including yours) and trees.
I'd opt for an Antennas Direct DB8E + Antennacraft Y10713 + a high input preamp such as the Antennas Direct 'Juice' + separate UHF/VHF combiner or an RCA TVPRAMP1R.
The Y10713 is needed for it's ability to receive real channels 7 through 13. In you application, it's needed for receiving real CH-10 and possibly real CH-8 (WXIA & WGTV). I'd point it toward 115° per a real compass as a starting aim point, then fine tune the aim from there.
The DB8E covers real channels 14 and higher. one panel should face 110° (compass) and the other panel adjusted to achieve the best overall reception, including the main group at 110° as well as the scattered signals to the NE.
