I guess what I'm really wanting to know is--when looking at my report and with the antenna that I have, should I be getting more stations?
Yes

Since you have a Winegard antenna, have you tried contacting them by phone or internet? They have several phone contact options:
800-788-4417
319-754-0761

You might even get a chance to talk to their Master Tech Hans!

Would I be better off connecting it to the Samsung. Does it have a better tuner?
The quality of the tuner can vary from brand to brand and within the same brand, even when they are functioning properly. I think it's worth the trouble to compare them during your tests. You should test each before and after an antenna/over the air (not cable) rescan.

Sometimes a double rescan is needed:
