Not one of the industry folks here, but maybe I can say something helpful.

If you want to put the antenna in your attic, the results become less predictable. Being enclosed in the building will attenuate the signal to some degree - and the materials in the roof, and any other obstructions and sources of interference within the house will be mixed in to the total equation.

That said, your reception environment is pretty favorable. You can probably do the attic installation, but roof installations are always less risky and will work better. Attic installations can be dicey.

If it were for me, I would measure the area available for the antenna in the attic. You might be able to use something like the RCA ANT751 in the attic and point it at either 300 or 171 and pick up 171 or 300 off the back side. That should get the major networks from Buffalo.

If it were me, and it would fit in the attic, I would use a UHF-only Antennas Direct DB8e and point one panel at 150ish and the other at 300ish. Probably overkill...

If you want WBBZ or CFTO on VHF, you could add another antenna and mix the signals.
