Cord cutting in Burlington, Ia

Ready to move on from cable. Currently experimenting with a Winegard HD 1080 that's mounted in the attic facing north. The roof has fiberglass shingles and non foil back insulation.
Here's our TV Fool report:

We're receiving channel 6.1 (NBC), 8.1 (ABC), 18.1 (FOX) and 26.1 (CW) as well as their sub channels.

The attic "experimental" antenna gave us encouraging results. Our next move is to install an antenna on the peak of the roof with either a tripod or chimney mount. The roof peak is 23 feet tall. Hopefully this will bring those stations in better and pick up channel 4 (CBS). This channel is low VHF. We also noticed that K28JD is a repeater for (PBS). These networks would cover all of our viewing needs.

We have some tall trees to the north and east that haven't hampered the attic reception so far. To the south is a tree within 25 yards of our house.

Thanks ahead of time, we appreciate any system recommendations!
