@ DL: Agreed.

@ PhayenK: If reusing a satellite dish mount, beware of the OTA antenna being so low that it is aimed into the roof, a source of signal reflections and attenuation.

I would expect the dish mount to be on the south side of the building... you are aiming at stations NNW of you. I can't help but wonder if your roof blocks the line of sight toward Mt Wilson.
