Cut the cord with Dish Network, need advice please

Hello All,
I got tired of paying $118/mo. for the 3 channels that I actually watch, so I cancelled my service with dish network. I've been reading this forum for a couple of days now, and I'm fascinated with the whole idea and anxious to see what kind of results I can get! I'm hoping I can get stations from 2-3 different cities: Chicago is 60 mi. west across Lake Michigan, Grand Rapids is 60 mi. N.E. South Bend, In. is 30 mi. south. I hooked up rabbit ears and can get about 8-12 stations from South Bend. In the old analog days a person could get stations from all 3 cities if you turned the antenna. I really want wxmi 17 in Grand Rapids so I can watch Lions football. The Chicago stations are mostly vhf and not as important to me. (would be nice though) I read a suggestion on another post that advised an Antennas Direct DB8E + Antennacraft Y10713 + RCA TVPRAMP1R preamplifier and split the aim.Would this work in my situation?

Thanks in Advance.

Here's my report:
