The attic would only make it worse, maybe much worse, so a directional antenna would be best in the attic, too. Better above the roof. And with such strong signals, you don't need a high-gain antenna, IMO, and I'd aim it at the weaker signals and let the stronger ones come in off the back.
I'm just an enthusiast, not an expert, so do listen to what GUM, teleview, towerguy, and a few others have to say.

Very well said.
