The tv-stream you receive is digital. Hence, if you get a good quality 
signal, then you cannot get any better than that.

If your signal is somehow scrambled, distorted or not the quallity you'd 
expect, then you might get a better signal with an other antenna.

you mention you have an attic mount, the one on the website is an 
outdoor one. Mounting an antenna outdoor will give you a slightly better 
(analog) signal with a possibly better digital signal. However, mounting 
an indoor antenna outdoor will reduce the quality of the antenna as it 
wears out.

It's up to you what you like/need/want.
