Your going to need hi-vhf & uhf capabilities, no matter which direction you're aiming, if your goal is to get all the major networks. I don't think the c2-v is going to give you enough gain, especially if trees are in the equation.
If it were me, I'd go with the HD7697P aimed at 140 degrees to start.
A premium solution would be an AntennasDirect DB8e & and Antennacraft Y-10-7-13 aimed the same direction.
It wouldn't be overkill.
