Hi Raven,
After analyzing your post [
http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wr...0331a21a0010e] its apparent that you are living directly west of Toronto[transmitter#1]and north east of Grand Island Buffalo[transmitter#2 (nb. there are others, but lets focus on these)].
Being able to get the best possible reception with the most possible channels its always best to get the exact coordinates and eliminate all interference.
However we all know, that's never gonna happen, so lets work with what we have being the
coordinates and the channels available.
The coordinates as per your post indicates that you will need to point your an antenna EAST for Toronto [with a compass @91^] and another antenna SOUTH EAST for Grand Island Buffalo [ with a compass @ 146^].
The span on these [#1 vs#2] are rather far apart [~46^] and unfortunately the ozone is not always in our favour.
The channels which are mostly available ranges from Virtual channel #2-#69
These channels operates on VHF and UHF bands [54 -812 mhz]
channel 2-13 on VHF
channel 14-69 on UHF
I will not get into the complexities of why...but instead focus on your needs.
Using an indoor antenna will allow you to get ~ 6 local channels from Toronto.
Having an outdoor antenna pointing in either of the directions [coordinates above] will yield a bigger result.
So what will work best in your favour?
Factoring living in (Condo/High Rise) you do have the right to owing an antenna [but not secured to building]
This then will be your ideal option [which should now enable you to have access to ~28 “channels”.

for a mount I would also recommend:

Amplifier?
No, based on where you are located in comparison to the transmitting towers along with the use of only 1 TV; an amplifier will not be needed.
I do hope that this will help...
