Help selecting an antenna

I have a two bay antenna mounted about 15 feet above ground off my old satellite which is pointing just a little west of due south. The following is the signal analysis results of my location:
http://www.tvfool.com/option=com_wra...60b52a5418fc03

From this setup I can receive the first 8 channels plus channel 57 except for channel 20. I want to add another antenna to be able to access more Canadian stations as well as the major US stations, like CBS, ABC, NBC, Fox.

My question is which type and model number of antenna would you suggest that would be able to pick up the stations I want? (As well, do I need to upgrade my current antenna) In addition, would combining the 2 lines cause signal interference, and what splitter/combiner can I use to combine the 2 signals?

Would I be able to just mount the other antenna off the side of the house or at the backyard off a fence or would a roof mount be necessary? The street (on south side) separates my location from neighbouring houses, so I am guessing I should have minimal interference from a direct signal.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Your link does not work. You need to redo it.

Tv antennas and Tv reception

This is a one antenna solution. This recommendation is based on the tvfool radar report for 02-06-2012 and is the current plus Pending Applications Included for Digital tv channels down to WNYO-DT 49 MyNetwork , and reception of Analog channels. Install a Winegard HD7084P antenna with a Winegard HDP-269 preamp aimed at about 170 degree magnetic compass. Here is how to aim antennas , http://www.kyes.com/antenna/pointing.html. The antenna and preamp will be mounted above the roof. Here are some antenna mounts , http://www.ronard.com/909911.html , http://www.ronard.com/34424560.html , http://www.ronard.com/ychim.html , http://www.ronard.com. Buy the antenna and preamp at , http://www.canadapost.ca/shopper.

Thanks for the info, Electron. I am new to OTA. It will take some time for me to digest all this info, but I want to have a good setup from the start.
