Another site I found was:

https://www.rabbitears.info/searchmap.php

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.

 RM> They did show that for almost all of them I'd need a very high quality

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.
