NH antenna/equipment recommendation

A big thanks to all the volunteers who help out here.

I'm hoping to dump cable and I'm looking for advice/opinions on what antenna (and other equipment) to purchase and install. Ideally, I'd like to receive PBS, ABC (WMUR), NBC, CBS, Fox, and CW. The CW looks like it will be challenging based on the maps. They do stream many of their primetime shows online, but it would be nice to be able to record them and/or watch in real time.

If I've left out any information that would be helpful, please let me know. I included a satellite view of the house in case it is helpful for the immediately adjacent structures (i.e. trees are close mostly on one side of house).

Thank you!

Current Setup:

Basic Cable from Comcast

Cable splits to 5 locations in home:

1. TV
2. HTPC tuner card
3. HTPC tuner card
4. Network Tuner (HDHomerun)
5. Network Tuner

I have read the thread started by GroundUrMast about using one or more network tuners as an alternative to antenna rotators/combiners. Love it - brilliant! I have much of my home wired with Cat 6 and already have a dual-tuner in use.

When viewing the photo, magnetic north is in the direction of the upper left corner of the house. Unfortunately, I think I'm on the wrong side of a hill for the best reception.
