NEWBIE in Burlington ON Canada

Hi All,

Just new here trying to see if I can get loose from my cable, internet and phone companies. Been reading for a couple of weeks, I hooked up the lead from my 30 ft tower and (old) antenna the previous owner had (and I left up thx to pocket protector guy at Radio shack!) and I think it is pointing N/E as I get about 6 channels. Unfortunately it seems like the rotor might be pooched as it does not turn when I engage the little controller.

So any help from someone would be great in these areas (and more if you that are more familiar think):

1. Is my old antenna (like a fish skeleton and a square little guy on top) sufficient? sorry I don't have more detail.
2. Antenna suggestions for my location - can I buy two and eliminate rotor?
3. Replace rotor will improve number of channels I can receive?
4. Does anyone have a known list of channel for Burlington w/similar set-up? (yes that's lazy Q)
5. Suggestions for a stand alone PVR?
6. Suggestions for rotor if my assumption is correct it will help
7. Can I do this myself?
8. For channel or more specifically shows that cannot be picked up are there any suggestions i.e. internet streaming, web sites, Netflix, iTunes?????

Here's my report:

In advance, thanks for any help, advice or input you all can provide!

Regards,
John
