The Camp Fortune and the Herbert's Corner transmitters are almost 180 degrees opposite of your location. Since I am a former resident of Ottawa, I have been following the digital transition pretty closely, and you'll find that the TVFool.com report that you posted still reflects the analog stations as well as the digital stations, which may lead to some confusion. For example, CBOFT has returned to channel 9 from it's temporary channel assignment of channel 22. CHCH has assumed channel 22, but their transmitter is in Herbert's Corner, not on the camp Fortune tower, as CBOFT once was.
The big issue for most Ottawans is Global's CIII retaining channel 6 on the Camp Fortune tower, and CHRO, which is operating with relatively little power on the Roger's tower in Herbert's Corner. As of today, Ottawa has VHF digital channels on channel 6 (CIII-Global) channel 9 (CBOFT- SRC) and Channel 13 (CJOH-CTV): the other stations are all on UHF, and split between the two transmitter locations., which are about 35km apart.
Rabbit ears antennas are marginal in most locations in Ottawa, and many Ottawans are reluctant to mount outdoor antennas on their roofs due to the harsh winter weather conditions, but if you have an attic large enough to mount an antenna, then we can get you all of the Ottawa-Gatineau stations reliably. Let us know if you have the will to work on your OTA reception with an attic-mounted antenna, and we can design you one that will get you all 15+ stations that operate in the National capital Region.
You can ignore the CRC-DT experimental channels, as they do not regularly air TV programming.
Good Luck!
