You can go to the forms of , http://www.digitalhome.ca , for update information. Also tvfool is being up dated. The pending applications that may not reflect the latest information shows , analog CBUT 2 , CHAN 8 , CHEK 6 . Digital , CHAN 22 , CBUT 43. In any event , if you will like to reach out for the Canada stations now or after the tvfool up date , at your location a Big Antenna will be needed. I recommend a Winegard HD7084P antenna or a Channel Master CM3671 and a Antennas Direct CPA-19 preamp. I recommend a dedicated antenna for the Canada stations. |
Yes, I understand about their switch to digital on Sep 1, 2011.
I even check out this site , which is fairly accurate:

.. that CM 3671 looks very similar to my current big antenna (though I dont know what its gain is).. I'm looking for the more compact and vertical one like DB4/DB8.
Also, my understanding about amplifiers is that it mitigates signal loss down the line to the TV, it does not "increase" the gain of the antenna itself, right?
