Bear in mind that a TVFool reception report is an estimate, because it does not have access to a perfect terrain profile and no knowledge of buildings or vegetation.

I'd try testing reception outdoors, either by moving the existing antenna or by using another. Attics vary a great deal, some are satisfactory reception locations... Others pose insurmountable reception challenges.

Different frequencies are affected by reflective surfaces and other obstacles in the propagation path. Even though the signals originate from a nearly common location, you can not presume they will all encounter equal path impairments.
