Your results are going to be best if you mount outside, clear of obstructions. An antenna in the house or in the attic is at a disadvantage for two reasons, first, the quality and strength of the available signal is less (just like trying to take a photo through a dirty window). Secondly, the electrical noise generated by equipment in the house is closer to the antenna so it has more negative impact (just like light reflecting off the glass in the photo analogy).

Most of the signals available to you are VHF. I'd try roof mounting an Antennacraft HD850 pointed at about 125° per a compass. The strong signals from the rear should do fine. Adjust the aim for the best compromise of signal strength/quality on all channels.
