Your TV Fool report suggests that reception should be fairly easy...
I would try testing reception outdoors. All you need to 'spend' is some time and effort moving the existing antenna from the attic where it may be experiencing interference or may be shielded by roofing materials.
You don't need to do a full reinstall to begin with, simply set the antenna up outside and connect it to a 'test' TV set using a short piece of coax and no preamp. Based on your report there should be plenty of signal in the air with no need for any amplification if driving one TV tuner through 20 to 50 feet of coax. Until you find a location that the antenna can 'see' a reliable signal, there's no point in adding the complexity and signal distortion that a preamp will cause.
Some attics simply can not provide acceptable signal conditions for TV reception.
