The higher your antenna, the more stations you will receive. I'm 5km west of Scott with an external antenna on my roof, 8' extension and can get 21 stations, of which I can watch 17. 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.

Yes, they do. Of the 11 TV antennas listed under "TV-Radio Antennas
and Accessories", 6 have built in amplifiers:

1. Philips SDV7225 indoor

2. Philips SDV8622T/27 indoor/outdoor

3. RCA CANT702Z indoor/outdoor

4. Digiwave ANT5012 indoor/outdoor

5. Digiwave ANT5013 indoor/outdoor

6. CJ Tech 72257 outdoor

P.S. Karen's conversation piqued my curiosity, so I bought the Philips
SDV8622T/27 from Sayal a few days ago. I'm located in North-East
Scarborough, a bit west of the Toronto Zoo. Using a Haier 32" LCD TV,
that has a built in digital tuner, and with the antenna pointed
towards the CN Tower through a second story window, I am able to
receive 4 stations:

CBLT-DT CBC 5.1 (channel 20)
TVO 19.1 (channel 19)
CBLFT-DT CBC French 25.1 (channel 25)
CITYTV 57.1 (channel 18)
