Hi - I would not plan on reusing much of the dish setup. Is the mount pointing in the right direction? Is it grounded per the electrical code? Will the antenna clear the roof peak and surrounding trees and vegetation when mounted on the dish mast? The dish was pointing somewhere at the sky, and you'll need to point the antenna at the level horizon, clear of trees and buildings.
I'm not sure which antenna to recommend here - I'd probably get an Antennas Direct DB8e and experiment with it. I'd mount the antenna with one panel pointed at 354 magnetic and the other pointed at 41 magnetic. WNSC and WCCB may be strong enough that you pick them up anyway, as long as they are not obstructed by trees or buildings. You could probably add WOLO 8 and WIS 10 by adding an Antennacraft Y5713 to the same mast ... depends on how ambitious you are and whether you'd want the extra complication for two - likely duplicate - stations.
