Does anyone know how many television channels you can receive using an
indoor antenna (rabbit ears) around Kitchener/Waterloo? Any stations
from Toronto? I know there is a CTV station in Kitchener but that's the
only one that seems to be a guarantee. When I lived in St. Catharines
we could pick up many UHF stations from New York (FOX etc) but that is
much closer to the border.

It would be great to hear about anyone's experience with air reception
in Kitchener/Waterloo or nearby.

For me (Kitchener, upper floor) I can get good signals for:
6 - Global
13 - CKCO CTV
28 - TVOntario
31 - City TV
56 - CBC English
61 - CBC French

Anything else is hit or miss...

Really? That's fantastic! I'm in Waterloo, also an upper floor. Did you
use a smallish antenna or is this a fancy outdoor unit? Nice to see
Global is among the channels that can be received.

Wasn't there a channel 42 that came from the K-W area?

The 42 transmitter is located in Oil Springs and broadcasts to Windsor,
Sarnia and Chatham areas.

iirc, Global's transmitter for this area is located near Paris

As for my antenna, it's an indoor, unboosted set of ears
