Advice requested regarding Antenna type, pre-amp

TV signal Analysis Report:
http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wr...cc49fa2d3ba64b

I am completely new to all OTA technology. I am hoping to find some solid advice. I ran the Signal Analysis above. I have an unobstructed line of sight view to the CKVR tower in Barrie, ON Canada (1000ft tall broadcast tower). I am surprised at how few channels are supposedly available in my area. Is it possible, considering the LOS view, that I might receive more channels than what the report says?

What model of antenna would someone recommend for me? I would mount the antenna on the roof. What model of pre-amp would one recommend? Will I need a rotating motor, if so, what model would one recommend? Is there a decent omni-directional antenna I could use?

I currently have some sort of antenna on the roof pointed directly at the CKVR tower but the coaxial cable has been cut. Is the antenna of any use? The current antenna was placed by the previous owner. I believe the antenna is this very model: http://www.calamp.com/products/mmds-...ys/131740-lnby

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thank you
