Signals so weak, I could operate a radio telescope! Trying to reach DC.

I'm trying to research the best way to cut my ridiculously expensive satellite cord. I'm not too far from the DC market, but the topography seems to be causing some grief. I have a large old school TV antenna on my roof that doesn't seem to provide signal when pointed to the source of my desire (approx. 46 deg true). I get the closer transmitters that transmit unappealing content. I would also add the overabundance of trees! There's no avoiding them.

I reached out to Wineguard for their recommendation. Here is what they recommended based on my address:
Based on your information we recommend a HD7694P antenna for your location.
An amplifier is recommended to make up for signal loss of long runs of cable, or if splitting the antenna to multiple televisions.
Amplifier:
LNA200
My TV signal analysis results appear here: http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wr...e2cb583e5c74aa

Is their recommendation the ideal? Are there alternatives I should consider?

Thanks for your assistance. I've read a few of your other recommendations and am impressed by your knowledge.
