Here's an update. Just made some minor antenna changes and now these are the new results. I've strengthen Global HD, SunTV HD and CTV HD signals
I had to sacrifice NBC 2-1, 2-2 & RTV 2-3 but I do get them on a good day the odd time.

CH. 4-1   - 92 - CBS HD - Colden, Buffalo
CH. 5-1   - 93 - CBC HD - CN Tower Toronto
CH. 7-1   - 91 - ABC HD - Colden, Buffalo
CH. 9-1   - 81 - CTV HD - CN Tower Toronto
CH. 11-1 - 71 - E! HD - Hamilton
CH. 17-1 - 96 - PBS HD - Grand Island, Buffalo
CH. 17-2 - 96 - PBS SD - Grand Island, Buffalo
CH. 17-3 - 95 - Think Bright - Grand Island, Buffalo
CH. 23-1 - 92 - The CW HD - Grand Island, Buffalo
CH. 25-1 - 94 - CBC-F HD - CN Tower Toronto
CH. 29-1 - 97 - Fox29 HD - Grand Island, Buffalo
CH. 29-2 - 96 - Fox29 SD - Grand Island, Buffalo
CH. 41-1 - 84 - Global HD - CN Tower Toronto
CH. 44-1 - 86 - OMNI.2 HD - CN Tower Toronto
CH. 49-1 - 81 - MyTV HD - Wyoming, Buffalo
CH. 57-1 - 78 - City TV HD - CN Tower Toronto
CH. 64-1 - 68 - OMNI. 1 HD - CN Tower Toronto
CH. 66-1 - 73 - Sun TV HD - CN Tower Toronto

When I see this, I think my own pathetic channel listing, and want to cry....

CH. 5-1,  9-1, 25-1, 41-1, 44-1, 57-1, 64-1, 66-1 and in analog 19.

All show up pretty good and full strength, but no Buffalo stations at all.  I think I know the problem, the antenna needs to be much higher, and outside, but that isn't currently possible since I don't have a way of getting through the window, without drilling and my landlord wouldn't like that, plus I would need somewhere to put the antenna without it showing.  This would all be possible at the back (North end) of the house where there is already a hole through that I could use and the antenna even if visible wouldn't be an issue.  That of course means having about a 75m cable run, to the front of the house.....   I wonder if a preamp would boost it enough to make it useful, or would I need a booster amp along the line....    Might just put up with it though, I get the same channels now in HD that I used to get in analog, so I may just leave it be, other then maybe rebuilding the antenna so it looks nicer.
