Newbie to your site here. I have a place at Sauble Beach, Ontario and am looking for a recommendation for an antenna, with rotor that can go atop a metal stack about 25 ft in the air. I am trying to anticipate what is going to happen with my 5 channels when things flip to digital in Sept. I currently have one of the white pizza box types with rotor that I originally bought from Radio Shack. Any recommendations as to make/model would be much appreciated. I am willing to buy a new flat screen to replace the RCA tube type TV we now have, if that helps the solution at all.

There are no digital stations in range of you. It's possible that the analog stations will continue to operate. If not, consider a satellite dish.

I am curious , what is a pizza box antenna?? What is the make and model number , radio shack catalog number?? The current tvfool report is not showing any receivable digital broadcast Tv channels at your location. The way to find out when Tv transmitters at your location will be changing to digital transmission is to call the networks and ask questions. Ask to talk with the engineering departments.
