Greetings David,

You have some choices and options about signals you want to prioritize. If I were installing at your location an Antennas Direct DB8e orientated to magnetic 72 would be my first choice. This ought to cover all signals from Toronto except for CTV. For that, I'd add a second smaller antenna in a RCA ANT751 orientated to magnetic 287.

You would require a signal combiner. The Antennas Direct EU385CF allows for two antennas to be combined into a single antenna. The trick here is one antenna has to be UHF (DB8e) and the other VHF (ANT751).

This would give you all of Toronto except for CTV. CTV from Kitchner would come from the ANT751. US broadcasts are extremely weak and would require additional measures to attempt to receive.

I would purchase a chimney mount and a 10' pole. The DB8e would mount at the top of the pole, with the ANT751 4 below it. A couple feet below that mount your EU385CF combiner and connect both antennas to it. From EU385CF run single lead of coax into home.

How many TVs do you want to feed?

Cheers.
