As for antenna, maybe the ANT-751. It's less directional than most and can pull stations in your range. It's a decent price too at $40 shipped from Amazon. I setup one in an attic just yesterday and it worked great for that situation. Another similar option is the Winegard 7000R that may help tune the VHF even better.

4 tuners is really nice (I have a Ceton Infinitv now), although I'm not certain I will need 4 if I can make the switch to OTA. It's nice to know it's easily added later, though.
The HDHomerun config app turned out to be very informative, thanks for suggesting it. I'm more encouraged about making some adjustments because it seems I'm not that far away from the stations I'm missing.
Bold I currently get, italics I do not.
Signal Strength / Signal Quality
49 WEDW 85/85
30 (59.1) WCTX 93/97
10 (8.1) WTNH 100/100
47 (55.1) WLNY 78/86
20 WCCT 64/72
26 (26.1) WHPX 72/74
35 (30.1) WVIT 63/75
7 WABC 68/45
21 (21.1) WLIW 66/84
31 (61.1) WTIC - can't find in the config tool
33 (2.1) WCBS 62/54
44 (5.1) WNYW 59/62
28 (4.1) WNBC 62/59
So it seems I need a signal strength of 60+ and a signal quality of 70+. Those seem reachable if I'm only ~10-15% away.
One thing that's interesting is that most of those channels are tunable in HDHomerun QuickTV, but not in WMC.
