This is far easier than was suggested.
All you need is a small high-VHF/UHF antenna aimed at Missouri City to get the major local stations. The antenna you suggested should work fine. If you're not going to be using the dish and it's location allows a good line of sight back towards Missouri City, its location should work well enough to get started. Existing coax can usually be used but you will need to replace any multi-switches or sat splitters with hardware that's appropriate for antenna signals.
The area around Houston offers some of the easiest TV antenna reception in the country so long as the correct antenna is used and it's properly placed and aimed. I used a C2V last year in when I was in Galveston on vacation and it worked fine, even indoors. Your reports of indoor difficulties is common, especially in areas where stucco and radiant barrier are common.
Good luck and don't let this seem more complicated than it needs to be.
