The use of an 8-way splitter calls for an amplifier in many cases.
Consider an Antennas Direct CPA-19 preamp or a Channel Master CM-3410 distribution amplifier.
If the antenna is not receiving a usable signal, an amplifier won't help. Amplifiers only provide a means to overcome cable and splitter losses attached to the output port. The closer you place the amplifier to the antenna, the better. The quality of the signal into the amplifier is improved and the effect of impedance mismatch (if present) may be minimized if the cable from the antenna to the amplifier is kept as short as is practical.
Avoid high gain, 'fringe area' amplifiers, they'll likely overload given the number of strong local signals and the gain of your antenna.
The signals on the 257° azimuth are too weak to expect reception from in the attic. You'll need to consider outdoor mounting at a higher level. Feel free to post a TVFR based on an antenna height of 50', we'll be glad to look at the possibilities for you.
