I recommend a 2 antenna setup.
_____________________________

Antenna system #1.

Install a Antennas Direct - Clear Stream 2 Complete VHF/UHF antenna aimed at about 300 degree magnetic compass direction - a in between aim direction for the reception of , CKVR-DT VHF channel 10 CTV TWO , CIII-DT VHF channel 7 GTN , CHCH-DT UHF channel 23 IND. , CFTO-DT UHF channel 35 CTV ONE.

Connect a Antennas Direct CPA-19 preamp to the CS2V antenna.

Remove the - Reflector Screen - from the CS2V antenna and the CS2V will receive at the front of the antenna and back of the antenna for the reception of , CKVR , CIII , CHCH , CFTO.
_______

For 1 Tv connected use no splitter.

For 2 Tv's connected use a , HFS-2D , 2 way splitter.

Buy the HFS splitters at , http://www.solidsignal.com or http://www.holladelectronics.com.

Can also use a common simple 2 way splitter that also passes DC power through the splitter.

Antenna system #2.

Aim a Channel Master CM4228HD antenna at about 203 degree magnetic compass direction.

Connect a CPA-19 preamp to the CM4228HD antenna.

For reception of , CBLT-DT UHF channel 20 CBC , CBLFT-D UHF channel 25 French Tv , CICA-DT UHF channel 19 TVO ,
and possibly , CJMT-DT UHF channel 40 OMNI 2 , CITY-DT UHF channel 44 CITY , CFMT-DT UHF channel 47 OMNI 1.

The no splitter and splitter set up is the same type and kind of setup as antenna system #1.

__________

Antenna Systems 1 and 2 are Separate antenna systems and are Not connected together on to one coax.

The systems are Separate all the way to the location/s of the Tv/s and are connected to a Remote control A/B antenna coax switch at each location of Tv.

http://www.mcmelectronics.com , #32-4425.

Saveandreplay also has the same A/B switch.

A/B antenna switching is Channel Surfing Friendly , press the button on the hand held remote control , change antennas and Keep On Channel Surfing.

_______________________________________

Recommend install the antennas no less then 25 feet above ground and closer to 40 feet will be better.

As always , trees and tree leaves do a real fine job of reducing or blocking Digital Broadcast Tv reception and so do buildings and other obstructions including your own house.

It is best to install the antennas at a location that has the least amount to no amount of obstructions of any type or kind in the directions of reception.

At your location that is , north west , east , south west , west.

The Tv/s Must Channel Scan for the Digital Broadcast Tv Channels , sometimes named the 'Air Channels' or 'Antenna Channels' in the Tv setup menu because the Broadcast Tv transmissions travel through the air from the transmitting antenna to the receiving antenna.

DO NOT channel scan for cable tv channels.
