It looks as if there is limited digital deployment in your area. You would benefit from a large all channel antenna such as the Winegard HD8200U. A low noise preamp such as the Winegard HDP-269 or Antennas Direct CPA-19 would be needed to 'push' the signal down the coax.

Your report indicates 50 feet AGL as the mounting height for the antenna. Do you already have a tower?

yes i have a 50 ft, tower , 40 plus 10 ft pipe

Seems you're only about 90 km away from Toronto towers, so you should be having strong NM values... guess there must be lots of hills and trees inbetween...

The HD8200U has a bit more gain than the CCS-1843. Both would provide coverage of VHF frequencies the 8-bay does not.

I think you are too far from the US stations to get 100% reliable reception. Expect the weather and sun-spot activity to affect the signal propagation of all of those south of the border signals.
