I don't think an attic installation is going to give you a good shot at the major networks.

I'd suggest a two antenna system. First, an Antennas Direct DB8E facing east... There are two sections that can be aimed independently. I'd start with one facing 110° and the other facing about 65°. The second antenna would be an Antennacraft Y10713 pointed at 13°.

Use an RCA TVPRAMP1R preamplifier, which has inputs for each antenna. The DB8E connects to the UHF input, and the Y10713 connects to the VHF input. Set the configurations switches to "VHF/UHF = SEPARATE" and "FM TRAP = IN".

Mounts outside, clear of obstructions such as trees and structures.
