Try this.
For reception of the Canada Digital Broadcast Tv stations.
Put a Antennas Direct , Clear Stream 2 UHF antenna , in the 5 foot tall by 1 foot wide bedroom window.
Tipping / aiming , the antenna up in the window , might help with reception.
It is experimental aiming to find the best reception.
The Canada Digital Tv transmissions to the , north east , are strong signal strength , so do not use a signal amplifier.
Use a loooong coax to connect the antenna to the Tv.

If you find a good , antenna aim/adjusted direction , with simple channel scans.
Then can help to do Double Channel Scan.

As a Test of reception for the USA Digital Tv stations/channels.
Try aiming the CS2 UHF antenna the best you can , to a south east / south direction.
A Double channel scan can help with reception.
If some USA Digital Broadcast Tv channels are receivable.
Then I recommend a 2 antenna setup , 1 CS2 antenna for the Canada Digital Tv stations and 2nd. CS2 antenna for the USA Digital Tv stations/channels.
For reception of the USA Digital Tv stations channels a Antennas Direct CPA-19 preamplifier might help with reception.
DO NOT use the CPA-19 preamp for reception of the Canada Digital Tv stations/channels.
If using 2 Separate CS2 antennas , Do Not connect the 2 antennas on to 1 coax.
The 2 Separate antenna systems are Separate all the way to the Tv/s locations.
If 1 Tv is connected use No splitter.
If 2 Tv's are connected use a HFS-2D , 2 way splitter.
If 3 Tv's are connected use a , HFS-3D , 3 way splitter.
Buy the HFS splitters at ,

Moving to a top floor / 4th floor apartment will help with reception to have reliable reception and most likely more Tv stations and channels.
Select a apartment higher up that has good views to the , north east , south - south east , at a minimum.
And a apartment with good views in all directions will also help with reception.
