You can buy the Zenith "Silver Sensor" UHF only indoor antenna at Above-All electronics, on the north side of Bloor St a block and a half or so west of Bathurst. just past Honest-Ed's. Active Surplus on the south side of Queen between University and Spadina, just west of Beverly, (located upstairs) has the Terk HDTV i which is a clone of the Zenith but also has built in rabbit-ears for VHF(2-13). I have one myself. with a switchable amplifier in it but the amplifier really doesn't make too much difference. The Active surplus one is identical but no amplifier. It doesn't work very well for channel 5 but works well for all UHF channels. From what I have read on the internet, one of these may be the best you can get for indoor reception. What you will get depends on your surroundings but this is MUCH better than a wire loop or a "bowtie" which actually is shaped like a bowtie and comes with many TV sets. Channel 25 (SRC) is quite watchable at my place near Greenwood and Dundas, south of East-York and lower. Both antennas are new in the box and cost under $20.00 before tax.
