Have you thought about getting a rotor? I live in Hamilton and have an 8 bay DB8E and I initially thought I could point 1 bay to Toronto and one to Buffalo and I'd be set. Didn't work out like I had planned. Even from Hamilton the Toronto stations are very strong and the Buffalo ones are quite weak. I now have 3 different antenna positions depending on the stations I want.
1) Toronto
2) Grand Island NY (PBS, CW, Bounce)
3) South Buffalo (CBS, NBC, ABC)
You might be able to get away with your focus 8 bay and just rotate it 15 or 20 degrees when you want to watch the Hamilton stations.
Star TV is an Independent station broadcasting from the east end of Toronto. It's in SD and is commercial free. Occasionally it has interesting documentaries on the TTC and other topic of interest to people in the Toronto area.
