I live in Burlington (Burloak & New) and I just set up a DB8 in my attic. I couldn't lock onto both Buffalo and Toronto so I disassambled the antenna and pointed one side at Toronto and another one to Buffalo, which works out to about a 90 degree angle. I couldn't get NBC, FOX and CBC initially so I added some cheap Phillips amp from Walmart. It's rated 12dB, 50-900MHz but I am only seeing a 5-10% improvement on most channels. My RG6 is about 70 ft long so I am probably losing about 3-4 dB on it.

So far I am getting a decent signal (50-75%) from Buffalo area (ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS, CW, WB, FOX), Toronto stations (CTV, SUN TV and CITY TV) are around 50%. I am having problems with CBC. The signal is weak, <45% and it keeps dropping. My Sharp Aquos needs at least 40% for a steady picture but the CBC signal strength is hovering around 30% right now. This is rather unexpected as I was getting a clear lock on CBC and Buffalo stations when I had my DB8 in the living room and pointing almost directly to Buffalo. I'll try a better amp one of these days. I am also debating if I should get a second DB8 (or maybe DB4) and point one to Toronto and second one to Buffalo. However, I'm not sure if it's possible to join them without using a switch.
