Help with new set-up, is an attic antenna possible?

My mom is dropping DISH and I am helping her in setting up reception OTA. We just bought a new TV and a ROKU for time being, next step will be an antenna.

Here is her signal analysis;

Good thing is most of the stations are equal distance and equal direction, for the most part. Bad thing is she really doesn't want an outdoor antenna. She has a 2 story home with the family room (where the TV is) on the backside of the house with no roof overhead........ this part of the home faces north and a good location for an outdoor set up.

If I could get away with an attic set-up I am not sure how I would feed the coax to this living room. Would it be best to route it to a current junction box? She says her Verizon FIOS is currently wired where Comcast came into the home though and not sure if that's ideal.

I am looking at the RCA ANT751R possibly or the Winguard HD7694P. If I can convince her to an outdoor installation I would go with the RCA, attic I would choose the Winguard and use a pre-amp for both.

Suggestions or comments appreciated.
