From the information provided, it looks as if you'll need to mount outdoors. The bulk of the network programming is going to be coming the Sutro Tower facility. A Winegard HD7698P or, a combination of UHF-only (Antennas Direct 91XG or Winegard HD9095P) and High-VHF (Antennacraft Y10713 or Winegard YA-1713) joined with a UVSJ is indicated. A preamp such as the Antennas Direct CPA-19 is needed. Point toward 147° compass.
It's not clear if the stations indicated on CH-2 & CH-3 are on the air. If you have a desire to receive those signals, you'll need a Low-VHF capable antenna (Winegard YA-6260, Antennacraft Y526). Aim point would be determined by which signal you desired. A rotator may be desirable if two or more channels are operational in the CH-2 through CH-6 range. The 'Pending' version of your report suggests that a station may come up on CH-4 at some point. A HLSJ could be used to combine the Low-VHF signals into the common down-lead.
