Well, the direction to point is obvious by the number of stations to your NE. Attic installs aren't usually the best way to go, as the building materials will have an impact, signals bounce around with angles and HVAC, foils and the sort. You will need something to pull VHF-Lo as well as UHF. You could try a Winegard HD-7015 aimed at about 60 deg on the compass. It can pull down to Ch 4, which is a repeater for WIAV. You'll need an amp if you're going to 3 TV's.

There's some co-channel warnings, which usually is not an issue because they're typically in different directions and a good ways apart. But I see some in about the same direction here, with only about 20 miles between them; like real 23. I wonder if an antenna with too much long distance gain causes more issues in those cases. I'm not sure and will defer that to someone who knows more. I'd guess that the closer station would present a better signal and the tuner would hopefully handle that. But I just can't say for sure.
