Never understood why we can't edit the title of our posts, God willing one day we will be able to.

First go to http://www.tvfool.com and use the TV Signal Locator tool.
This will tell you what channels are available, and help you to position the antenna.

http://www.saveandreplay.com/ (Kennedy Rd and Britannia) has good selection of antennas.
Of course YMMV, especially with an indoor antenna.

I went to buy one at The Source a year ago and the rep advised not to waste money on one. He explained everything would convert to digital within 6 months. I know now he wasn’t being truthful, but I haven’t researched it further.

It all depends on your line of sight and obstructions. As Mythos said, tvfool will show you where the stations are and if you might get them.

It all depends on your exact area, where you locate and aim the antenna, obstructions etc.

If you are in the GTA. Just get a small outdoor one . Digiwave 2084 $30 canadacomputers.com 30" by 16" . It's a copy of Channelmaster. point in the direction of CN tower.

i can get , CTV, City TV, Global. CTS, CHCH, The 2 omni channels TVO, CBC and WNED I used to get fox 29 from buffalo

I've heard that one can have a lot of success building fractal antennae within the void spaces of their attic trusses. Just keep adding sections as required.

this indoor antenna i have is strange in one position i can get fox 29 and WNED but CHCH 11.1 and CTS 14.1 have no signal. in the second position i cannot get any of the buffallo channels. but i can get all the local Toronto channels plus CHCH hamilton and CITS/CTS 14.1.

i prefer the second position. i will watch my fibe tv thing if i want to watch any of the buffalo channels

why not use satellite dish. picks up signal better and you can use it as a dish to feed your dog

i can get the same channels using FIBE and related IPTV technoogies

update: the only buffalo channel can get is fox 29

This morning I am receiving over 30 channels in central Etobicoke, using a small outdoor dual-array antenna, with an HdHomerun receiver. This includes all the major networks and sub-channels.

Depending on where you are, Toronto and Buffalo are not going to both come in very well on the same antenna. I use a signal combiner along with different high gain directional antennas with great results. It's a night and day difference from the previous flat array antenna I had.

I think Canada Man lives in a condo? That is why he may need an indoor antenna. I have tried a couple indoor antennas and neither of them worked very well. Like Mythos said, SaveandReplay in Mississauga is the place to go.
I bought the DB8 outdoor dual antenna, one pointed at the CN tower and the other at Buffalo, I get all the CAN/US networks in crystal clear HD and about 30 more Standard Def channels.....most of which are garbage.

So you buy this thing for 200 bucks, put in your yard and that's it?

It was about $300 as I bought a J-pole to attach the antenna to my chimney. It was fairly easy to set up and they give you the coordinates to direct the antenna. You have to run a cable from the antenna to your TV but that was easy enough. But yes, just screw the coaxial cable into your TV and true uncompressed HD TV.
