Trying the antenna in the attic is a very acceptable thing to do. Run the wire from the coax down through the inside of the house to one television as a test. Since attics can be very unfavorable to antennas you'll need to try it every it will fit in the attic using a real compass to aim at magnetic 36 degrees.
If you eventually move to mount the antenna on the roof, start with your preferred spot but also check other spots across the roof. Sometimes moving the antenna even a few inches makes all the difference (and again test with the coax draped down the house in a window or door near the tv).
