can you pick up the analog channels from the CN tower ?

Plug a small radioshack UHF antenna in and see what you get (bowtie or something intended for UHF - NOT Rabbits Ears)

If you can get decent analog reception using an indoor antenna, then you have some chance of picking up digital channels which are broadcast on the same UHF frequencies.

Hey guys. It's good to finally see a thread like
this for Toronto. Now here are my questions. I
have an HP Media Center PC and I was thinking
of getting the HDTV Wonder. I'd like to know where
you guys got it from. It's selling at PC Village
for $199 and I couldn't find a better price in
Toronto.

My other question is this: I live close to Finch
and Weston in a house that's facing directly south.
The only thing is I don't have a direct view of
the CN tower; all I see are houses and behind
that, more houses. And behind those houses is
the humber river valley. It's not like I live
that far from the CN tower (North York). But in
your personal opinion, do you think I'll actually
get any channels in my area with the indoor antenna
even though I can't see the CN tower? I'd hate
to spend 200 bucks on a card and later find out
that it won't even work in my area, especially
since the return policy is "exchange only". I
talked to the guy in PC Village and some other
guy at Best Buy and they told me that it would
be useless to try this ANYWHERE in Toronto. But
considering your luck with it, I doubt their opinions.
I'm not interested in installing a huge antenna
in my backyard and would prefer only to use the
indoor supplied antenna with the amp. Anyway,
any feedback from you guys would be appreciated.
Thanks.
