The Winegard HD7696P is a good antenna choice. I would consider using a Winegard AP8700 preamp.
For best results you will want to mount outside at the highest practical elevation. A 10' mast at or near the roof peak for example. If mounting on the house roof avoids the trees, all the more reason to mount on the house roof. Aimed at 68° per your compass you will get the major networks.
I would be quite surprised if the cable company would spend any labor recovering a used splitter.
A rotator would offer a few more stations but at the expense of causing arguments as to which way the antenna should be aimed.
