    Salim -

    First issue is how your building or condo management feels about antennas. Even if they don't like the looks, I think it is ethical to install an antenna if it is hidden or masked.

    Any problem getting the cable into your interior?

    For some time, I have been dismissive of The Source products. I can't say if your unit is helpful or not. But there is no substitute for antenna size and amplifying a weak signal does not improve the signal to noise performance on a short cable run.

    Many of us find a "4-bay" (basic) UHF antenna will bring in many Buffalo stations perfectly (about $40 at places like the surplus store on Queen near Beverly). On the 10th floor, your reception should be quite good. Also, likely no need to change the aim of the antenna - just point to Buffalo and CN Tower stations will be just fine. The TVFool website will give you the bearings left of right of the CN Tower.

    Thanks for the answer Ben...
    There are some buildings between the CN Tower and my appartment but I can see the CN Tower from my appartment. I live at the 10th floor and the antenna won't be more than 2 or 3 meters far from the TV (on the terrace).
    I bought a "NEXXTECH" amplified UHF/VHF/FM indoor antenna at "The Source" and I can have 7 channels: Omni, CityTV, CTV, CBC ON, CBC QC, Global and a channel I don't really know because it depends on the reception...
    Do you think I could get more channels with an outdoor antenna like yours?
    Where can I buy one?

    Many thanks.

    Hi there, I am new here (just arrived from France) and for sur, I don't want Bell or Rogers channels. I am not that far from you. St Clair / Young.
    I just want to know if you can tell me how to have more than 6 channels here. I am in front on the CN Tower but... What antenna should I use to get as many channels as you?
    Thank you for your help...
