I'm located somewhat between Toronto & Niagara falls so have two antennas stacked.  One pointed at Toronto & the other at Buffalo, so we get a good mix of Canadian & American television.  There's a few stations we get that we uncheck (hide) so that we don't have to see them like QVC (shopping) or the religious stations.  But it's nice getting CBC, CTV, Global, CITY, TVO, CHCH, ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX, CW for free in full HD.

We plug the antenna into a Tablo OTA DVR that connects to our network, so we just record any of the programs we want and then watch them on our Apple TV & skip the commercials.  We don't watch live television all that often, perhaps during an election.  If we needed wanted to, we could also watch live or
recorded content on our phones, though I've rarely needed to do so.
