First of all I usually pride myself in researching and figuring out projects like this but with a small a business and a small child I'm throwing in the towel and asking for help!
I am in Asheville which is surrounded by mountains but there are none directly around my house. We do have some tall trees to contend with. We have directv and will be cancelling very soon. Even with the tall trees directv gets great reception. Seems there's just enough of a "hole". I have some pics trying to show the tree lines from the roof. I can post them if requested.
Here is my report (antenna height is a rough estimate)

It is a MUST that I incorporate the sat mount with whatever I do! We have a brand new roof and will not be changing the location. Size/aesthetics are of concern to my wife so nothing gigantic.
Here is where the sat is mounted and pointing. Looks like where it is aimed I would get abc and pbs no problem. We would like all major networks if possible (abc has to be 13 for local news) others I don't care where they come from.
I've been looking at a few antennas on amazon that I know I could use with the sat mount.

We currently have 2 tv's setup with directv so there is coax run. One LONG run from the sat around the house and into the basement where it splits. We would like to add another at some point for the guest room. The main tv is actually very close to where the sat is and we could easily run a new shorter run of coax. Then use the old long run for the back two bedrooms. I know nothing about preamps etc.
