I used this site:

https://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wrapper&Itemid=29

It was pretty accurate for what's available in my area.  It also lets you know
the signal strength based on how high your antenna is.  That's how we knew we
needed ours to be 30ft in the air to reliably get the stations from Buffalo.

When I typed my Dad's address into that site (Muskoka), he can get one station
reliably (CTV), and might be able to get Global & CHCH if we were able to get
the antenna high enough.  A far cry from the ~30 stations we can get down here.
