4 stations from an indoor antenna is good, but you might need to play with its orientation and stick it closer to a window for line of sight LOS reception.
I'm not sure I actually have line of sight. In order to receive anything, the antenna has to be tilted about 30° to 60°. With it vertical (as you would expect) or even fully horizontal, it picks up nothing. I'm wondering if the signal I'm getting is actually a reflection off of something, which is strangely causing it to be polarized about 45°? It's also curious that I don't receive other stations broadcast from the CN Tower: Global (41.1 channel 17) and Omni 1 (47.1 channel 30). Once, after a scan, I got a very broken up Omni 2 (40.1 channel 26). It's understandable that I don't get CTV (9.1 channel 8), since it's on VHF and the antenna's size is optimised for UHF. -- Scott
