The HDX1000 is not a very good antenna for your location. The signals from 243 degrees are fairly strong but at 43 miles out you need a fairly large antenna with all channel capability.

If you want to install in your attic use a Winegard HD7082P all channel antenna aimed to 243 degrees magnetic provided your roof is standard construction with soft shingles, not tile or metal.

Not sure what your NID is. If you are running coax to multipul locations you should install a distribution amplifier. Use a Channel Master distribution amplifier with enough gain to overcome the loss in your system, roughly 4 db for each hook up, including the loss in your coax. This could be an amplifier with one output run to a splitter with enough outputs to feed all sets.
