I can't offer a great deal of hope for an attic mounted antenna system based on your report.

Your report indicates that you need a full sized 'deep fringe' antenna or combination of antennas. I'd go with an Antennas Direct DB8E + Antennacraft Y10713, mounted outdoors, clear of obstructions. The DB8E is a panel design so it may be able to hide on the back side of a roof if that doesn't obstruct it's view toward the stations. The Y10713 is a Yagi type... a full 10' long.

There are combo antennas such as the Winegard HD7698P and Antennacraft HBU-55 that merge UHF and some VHF capability into a single antenna, but they are also long like the Y10713.
