Very much a newbie in this area. I'll admit that I don't even understand the difference between VHF & UHF (and will wallow in my ignorance, as I honestly don't care about the difference - as long as it works!)

I only bother with late night news, and prefer CFRN Channel 3.1 (CTV network) but occasionally do catch some CBXT Channel 5.1 (CBC). If necessary, I'll see CITV Channel 13.1 (Global) but prefer not to. Particularly as only the first two mentioned here thus far provided decent reception.
I notice that the transmitters for both CFRN and CITV are on the same tower, or at least the same hill, 15 miles to the southeast of my apartment, which is in a high rise facing west-northwest, meaning that my own building is between me and the transmission tower.
I've tried three new antennas, and have returned all three, using an old cheaper Philips model from a few years back. The newer ones either didn't work at all, or provided no better reception.
Now, my real problem: I had the antenna set up to receive the CFRN signal for a few weeks - great. Suddenly, last night, I got "No Signal" from there, but another one, CITV, Channel 13, came in very clear. Seems I can get one
or the other, but
not both, and always one is there.
Doesn't make sense to me. Transmission is from the same place, but I can't get them both, but always get one or the other.
Any ideas about why this occurs? And more important, any idea of how I can get consistent reception of the CFRN signal?
