Question How things stnad so far

CM 4221HD
Mounted approx. 19 feet high.
2-way splitter
50 feet RG6
Pointed roughly between Toronto and Buffalo(into Lake Ontario)

I am receiving these:
5 CBC (some pixelization)
9 CTV CFTO
11 CHCH
19 TVO
25 SRC
36 CITS
41 GLOBAL CIII
(HD & SD)

When mounting on the existing satellite mount, I realized the peak of the roof(in front of my antenna, between the antenna and lake Ontario) is roughly in-line with the center of the antenna. I imagine this is affecting my results.
Should I…
a) Try pointing the antenna towards the CN Tower, to see if I can get a few more Toronto stations? (The roof should not be as much an issue in this direction)
b) I could re-mount the j-pole and mount to the fascia on the east side of the house, past the peak of the roof.
c) I could get a taller mast for the existing location. This would save some re-wiring)

Any comments on my ideas or other thoughts\tips are welcome!
