I used a garbage antenna that came with my Bell 9200 (I think it's intended for the UHF Remote 2), and was able to pick up the CFCN-HD signal in Glamorgan when I hooked it directly to the tuner on the plasma. The Bell receiver was not able to detect anything. The signal strength was 40%, so the picture kept freezing, but when it flowed, it was more clear and less compressed than the equivalent CTV-HD off Bell.

I have since picked up an antenna that my Grandmother had used in the past. I am on vacation now, but plan on setting it up when I get home. I have no doubts that I will be able to pick up CFCN-HD, especially since Glamorgan is so close to the broadcast tower.
