That's certainly one of the least amount of available signals I've seen. It's not impossible to do, but the amt of channels will be pretty slim. And the 2Edge rating on the chart doesn't help. You'll need an antenna that can reach out, possibly like a Winegard HD7084P or better. You may even need to add a pre-amp as well, but that can be added later if needed.
How's the north eastern view from the antenna location? About 70 degrees on the compass is where you'll ultimately point. If you have nearby trees in that direction, you'll battle with them for a good signal. The good thing is that you can get all the major networks from one direction.
Before you buy anything, get a few opinions from the guru's on here first, as your situation isn't as easy as others.
What's the issue with Dish? If it's price, you can always bargain with them. I've had Dish and Directv both in the past. If you call to cancel, they will make offers to keep you around. You can always flip back and forth from one to another every 2 years and get the benefit of some discounted rates. Not sure though if they might blacklist you over time. Companies track a lot of metrics these days. But in the end, it may be your best option for dependable TV.
