If you are stuck for an antenna, here's what I did as an experiment. My son moved into a condo in toronto near the CN Tower (largest free standing transmitter in the world, or it was).
Since I still live in analog TV area (only major centres in Canada were mandated to go digital OTA ) I wanted to see what digital OTA looked like and how many channels he got. So I took a 8 inch long piece of copper wire (from an ethernet cable) and stuck in into the middle hole of the coax antenna connection on the TV. We received 20 or so channels including ones from Buffalo across Lake Ontario. Then a year later he moved a few blocks west and onto the "far side" of the building and only got a few channels. Sadly he does not receive City-tv which means his girlfriend does not get The Bachelorette live.
