Smile The Playoffs at the lake

I trying to figure out whether satellite or OTA. There is Bell and Shaw satellite reception already but if I can get CBC and maybe a couple other channels OTA that would be great. There are trees in the surrounding area that could possibly be an issue. Any help would be great.
Thanks

You have six stations just over a mile north of you. They are very low power though. An outdoor UHF panel antenna such as the Antennas Direct DB-8, Winegard HD8800, Channel Master CM-4228 or Antennacraft U8000 will give you the best shot at a nice snow free signal.

A smaller antenna will still work, though the quality of the signal will not be quite as good.

The rest of the stations on your report would require a large all channel antenna and rotator. The Antennacraft HD1850 or Winegard HD-8200U come to mind.

Tv antennas and Tv reception

The six channels at 3 degrees magnetic compass are analog tv channels. I suggest a roof top Tv antenna. I suggest a Antennasdirect 91XG UHF TV antenna. The 91XG will supply signal to 1 or 2 Tv's.
