Another site I found was:

There were a couple of differences (for my area at least), e.g: the original CHCH tower had been torn down and the new one was put in service in a slightly different area.

That's what we found in our area as well, we're in the middle of Toronto & Buffalo, but not exactly *close* to either.  So we bought two high-gain directional antennas to point in each direction.  It works well enough, and if there is heavy rain it can sometimes pixelate or drop out.

 RM> Both showed CTV and Global feeds. The digital ones added CBC and TVO
 RM> as well, and SRC which is French I believe..

Some of the far away ones on our map are repeats like CTV out of Kitchener and Global out of Paris, repeats of what we're getting out of Toronto.
