   I'm located somewhat between Toronto & Niagara falls so have two antennas   
   stacked.  One pointed at Toronto & the other at Buffalo, so we get a good mix   
   of Canadian & American television.  There's a few stations we get that we   
   uncheck (hide) so that we don't have to see them like QVC (shopping) or the   
   religious stations.  But it's nice getting CBC, CTV, Global, CITY, TVO, CHCH,   
   ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX, CW for free in full HD.   
      
   We plug the antenna into a Tablo OTA DVR that connects to our network, so we   
   just record any of the programs we want and then watch them on our Apple TV &   
   skip the commercials.  We don't watch live television all that often, perhaps   
   during an election.  If we needed wanted to, we could also watch live or   
   recorded content on our phones, though I've rarely needed to do so.
