I've had mine since the beginning of the year and I've been quite pleased. I live by Lake Ontario and face the lake so I've been fortunate (near the Credit River in Mississauga).

My latest addition is a Samsung Axession amplified antenna, it's similar to the included yagi antenna but with a nice sturdy base, the ability to raise and lower the mast (by just enough to fix interference) and rotate it, and best of all it's amplified. It's about 60 bucks, let me know if you have trouble finding it, it's well worth the money (but it should stay indoors).

FOX 29 @ 90 percent
NBC just boosted the signal, 60+ percent
CBS is usually watchable 50 - 70 percent
CBC HD has a strong signal
CFTO needs to be manually entered (40-1) but is strong
CITY is directional and thus a bit tricky but usually 50+ percent

There's more... but that's a good start. The anomoly of the week has got to be WXXI, the PBS station in Rochester, coming in strong at 60+ percent but I am guessing it's being rebroadcast from Buffalo as the Buffalo PBS station seems to be gone from the airwaves at the moment.

Anything over 50 percent is generally more than tolerable. Quite a miracle considering the ghosting, snow, etc. that we used to put up with !

Of course one of the best channel guides is on this here site:
