Awesome! Thanks for the speedy response!
I had a feeling that there was a problem with my antenna since, after reading a lot of the posts here, people that set up "attic" antennas seem to get a lot more channels than I do. I'm going to take your advice and replace the antenna that I currently have but I seem to be having problems locating the antenna you suggested (Winegard HD7696P) in the Toronto area.
From what I've read, a lot of people in Toronto are having a lot of success with the Channel Master 4221/4228HD set up in their attics. Do you have any opinion on this antenna? I know it's not the same as the one you suggested but @ least I can pick it up @ a nearby store here.
Here are the specs:
The Channel Master 4 Bay Antenna is a high quality UHF HDTV OTA Antenna optimized for DTV (Digital TV). Its not as big as its big Brother the 8 bay channel master 4228 and 4228HD with its 8 bays.
Channel Master's model 4221HD antenna can receive digital and analog over-the-air TV signals in the UHF band only (over 90% of digital TV signals are in the UHF band). The 4221HD is optimized for "near-fringe" reception of HDTV. Its space-efficient design is suitable for roof and attic installations. Channel Master 4221HD is said to have a higher gain then the original 4221.
The Channel Master 4221HD is classified as a Medium-sized Directional antenna. For Over the Air channels see our OTA page for channel listing by postal code within Canada or the USA.
