Help with antenna selection in Whitby Ontario

My location info:
http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wr...46aea761773bdf

My current plan is to replace the bell dish which is on the rear of the house at about 30 feet elevation as all cabling is complete, running roughly 70 feet of coax from antenna mount to fuse box in the basement where it goes then through roughly 35 to 40 feet of cable back to tv. Splitting signal to multiple tvs is possible at the fusebox but not necessary.

The current bell dish is on a 3 foot j post mount which doesn't quite clear the neighbours roof which blocks line of sight to the cn tower and NY stations, contemplated a taller j post but it can get quite windy here and figure that would require more of a tripod type setup. A quick check of some folks with similar maps seems to point to ant751 setup, but would like suggestions since I am a total newb.

I would love to get the NY stations if possible, currently have a Terk HDTVa in a south side bedroom on the second floor which gets about 20 channels on a good day without any positioning tweaking etc. Just pointing out the window in a guesstimated southish direction. Hoping with some guidance and a proper rooftop setup that I can get more dependable channels and hopefully a few more. Thanks in advance!
