My first thought re. reception is, try the antenna outside, above the roof line.

Thanks for the reply. I was actually looking at the roof line this evening. Problem is that it would not fit in, in my neighborhood, not to mention the cost and labor of installation. I am sure, though, that at that height I could achieve what I need as it might even be LOS there.
Do you think that a newer antenna of a brand like Channel Master or Winegard would give better performance in the attic?
