We don't know yet.
What channels do you need?
If it's just the Canadian channels, maybe an Antennas Direct C2V or a Winegard HD7694P aimed about 40 degrees magnetic, with a Channel Master 7778 if needed.
If you are trying for a few US channels, you will need to rotate your antenna, or use a separate antenna for them.
If you don't need CIII-TV GTN analog on real channel 2, because you have GTN on real channel 14, then you will not need a big VHF-Low antenna.

Thanks for the help.
I've now looked over all the channels using tvfool's Online Coverage Map Browser, and things are finally making some sense. The channels I would like to receive are in 2 primary locations directly north and directly south in the usa.
To the North is a) CBOT 25 CBC, b) CIII 14 Global c)CJOH 13 CTV d) CICO 24 TVO. These are the English language non-religious channels.
To the South (I'd love all of ABC, NBC,CBS, FOX, PBS) will realistically attempt for a) WWNY 7 CBS (FOX) I doubt but would like b) WWTI 21 ABC c) WPBS 41 PBS
How would I attempt receiving both North and South signals? I've read this (
http://www.tvantenna.com/support/tut...combining.html)
and a few other articles and it seems 2 directional antenna's would be best since the difficulty of getting electricity to the antenna tower for a rotator.
Intially I'd buy a Winegard HD7694P aim it in each direction from multiple positions and confirm/deny the signals available and then purchase a second Winegard HD7694P antenna and aim it in the alternate direction and use an A/B antenna switch or some Chanel Master product?
The 2 antennas mentioned the Antennas Direct C2V and the Winegard is one preferable as far as superior TV reception / quality (I have an Telecom Tower Climber friend installation is not a problem) or is the only way to know by testing it out?
