Welcome aboard!
Reverse engineering your TVfool plot and your description of your location will put you on the east-facing slope between St Croix Trail S on your east and Pennington Ave S on your west within a block of 34th St.
Despite your best efforts and intentions, you may find yourself calling the satellite company back if you want TV reception beyond Wisconsin Public TV.
Your location tight against the slope of that hill and being surrounded by trees will cause the signal forecasting software of this site to be wildly optimistic about the signal powers expected from Shoreview. With a large high-VHF antenna pointed up the hill to your north-west, you might get channels 9 & 11 as the VHF signals will more readily follow the terrain. I sincerely doubt that you will get anything UHF no matter what you do unless you are able to catch a reflected signal from across the river.
Sorry to be so pessimistic, but I've been behind enough hills to know that the signals will be far, far weaker than the forecast suggests. I'd like to be wrong about being so pessimistic, but you're in a pretty tough spot.
