We recently cancelled cable, and I am quite a beginner when it comes to OTA. We are from Ontario, Canada.
TV Fool report:

The two main broadcasting towers in our area stand out pretty clearly, and I'm thinking we should have little trouble in getting those.
I've talked to a couple of people I know who said they would recommend a directional VHF/UHF yagi antenna. We are looking for an attic mount (2 floor house), and not wanting to spend more than $100-ish dollars on one.
Save and Replay was recommended to me from a few people I know that bought from there, and from their stock it was suggested that the two below could work. Choices of shops diminishes significantly when buying in Canada or cross-border.

When I looked at the two pages it stated they were UHF antenna, does that mean I could miss out on channels 2-13 if I don't get one that can do VHF/UHF? From the report it looks like 7 VHF channels and ~17 UHF channels could be received with the right antenna.
Like I said I'm pretty new when it comes to OTA, and any assistance provided would be greatly appreciated.
