The CS4 and C5 combination has enough gain to succeed outdoors in the clear. But if mounted in an attic, you'll have little fade margin. My calculations indicate you'll have trouble with KUSA, KDVR and KCNC. I doubt you would see any of the signals highlighted in red on your report.

If you are going to succeed in the attic, you need the most antenna gain you can lay hands on. The HD7698P has quite a bit more high-VHF gain compared to the C5. It also has a few dB more UHF gain than the CS4.
