If you wish to reduce your OTA TV risk and see if it can work, maybe you can get a sighted person, find any modern TV with an ATSC tuner, coat hanger antenna, and see how many channels you can get. If you have a clear line of sight to the CN tower, then you should get at least 7 tv stations.

You might wish to try this before moving ahead with an ATSC converter box, because it is so easy to do, non-destructive, takes very little time, and costs nothing.

Hi amazing folks,
Okay, the capable tech who has been supporting my office computer needs
was here this morning.
Aside from taking my sharp calculator to repair the battery case issue, and
providing a quite nifty DVD unit, complete with Ethernet port, memory
card, USB abilities and cd playing, we discussed my converter box antenna
project.
Ordering from amazon can be a complex frustrating affair due to how much
inclusion varies.
Before I spend several ours on the phone, let me be certain that there is
no place
in town, not factory direct or anyone where I can walk in and buy an
atsc capable converter box?
my window does face the cn tower, on the right, so it feels more and more
possible that the indoor antenna attempt is worth the effort.
Thanks,
Kare
