Your report indicates you have a comprehensive selection of over-the-air signals available. To take full advantage, an outdoor mounted antenna would be your best hope for reliable reception.
You're correct, the dish is of no use receiving OTA TV signals. There may be satellite system components such as multiswitches, line amplifiers and diplexers at various points in the system. In almost every case these will need to be removed. The J-pole (short tubular mounting that the dish is clamped onto) may be useful as a mounting point for an OTA antenna provided it's in an acceptable location. The coax can be reused if water has not leaked into the core.
Regarding the J-pole, is it on the south side of the house? More importantly, if you use the existing mount, would an antenna be pointing into the roof when aimed north?
Also, your report is based on a default height of 10' above ground. A new report based on the actual mounting height would be helpful.
The answers to these questions could have a significant impact on the choice of antenna.
