New to Antenna's - Need Advice

Hey Everyone,

I am new to all of DTV / HDTV OTA and could really use some advice.

I am located in Kitchener, ON, Canada and looking to install a new antenna for my Grandparents to recieve local DTV / HDTV stations. They used to only recieve CKCO TV (Channel 13) and now nothing as I believe they completely switched to DTV broadcasting.

I would like to recieve as many channels as possible, spending up to a max of $200 on the antenna.

This is my Analysis from TV Fool:

I almost got sucked into the Lava HD line, thankfully I google everything.

I don't know if I need just UHV or VHF, or both, and then which antenna would be best to get for either.

I ran into the Winegard HD8200U and am not sure if this is overkill? If it suits my application? Or if I need something completely different?

I do realize a small set top box or outdoor antenna will recieve CKCO, but since I am going to spend the money, I would prefer to get as many channels as possible around the area.


I would value any and all advice.


Thanks SO much guys.
