Attics can be less than ideal locations for antennas. When constructed of wood and composition shingles, they may be adequate for some situations, but will still attenuate signals. As the weather turns wet and especially as you get a snow load, the situation will get worse.
I can't recommend the Lava product. The unrealistic advertising claims and the reports of build quality and reliability problems make me avoid the product completely.
You may want to try the antenna outside in the clear.
If we were neighbors, you'd see one or two antennas on my roof. In an effort to receive the weaker signals from WDMI and KHVM I'd use a Winegard HD7698P and an Antennas Direct CPA-19 preamplifier (aimed at about 45° compass). If the programming from those stations were not of interest, the smaller HD7694P would do well. I would use a second antenna such as an Antennas Direct XG-91 to receive KPXM to the north. A preamp would be needed and an A/B switch for selecting the desired antenna.
