The thing is...I cannot have the antenna outside...must be in the attic.
Why?

Continue trying different locations in the attic for your antenna as suggested above.

If that doesn't work, you can upgrade your antenna to one that is more directional to reject multipath reflections in the attic, but I can't guarantee that it will solve the problem. I suggest the Antennas Direct DB4e. It is primarily a UHF antenna; if it doesn't pick up WFAA ABC, you will need to add a VHF-High antenna like the MCM 30-2475 and combine it with the DB4e using a UVSJ UHF/VHF combiner.

If that doesn't work, you will have to go outside or give up.

Can you show us a photo of what the antenna "sees" (like the trees) when it is aimed east?
