Antenna Placement

Hello All,
A few days (weeks?) ago, you helped me determine that I should be able to get reception at my new house. Some initial tests show that this is true.

By "initial tests" I mean that I got a GE Futura Indoor/Outdoor antenna to confirm that the strongest signals were available and they were. In fact, with the futura, I was able to get most of the signals that I hoped to receive.
But, it didn't get ALL the signals (no ABC network) and it stopped working altogether last night. So I've decided to install a normal antenna.

I wanted to use the Dish Network bracket that is on the corner of my roof and just mount the antenna to that. However, that bracket isn't very tall and it is located right next to where the utility power attaches to my house.

How much room do I need to leave between an antenna and the utility drops into my house?

Do I need to move to another corner of the house altogether?

Would some pics help?

Thanks,
-tomas
