The only one that Best Buy has in stock (and not everywhere) is an old-old-style "rabbit ears and loop" design that will likely not work well, which is why I did not suggest it: https://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/product/13337602 They have others listed online but they are special-order. Same with Walmart, many listings but nothing in stock. Update: I have been looking around a little more and have found one that actually comes from a reputable brand, also has good reviews, and is reasonable cost: The "Flatenna" by Channel Master, the company that made the large antenna I have on my rooftop. It's $48 at Amazon and in stock: https://www.amazon.ca/Channel-Master-FLATenna-Ultra-Thin-Antenna/dp/B074TWSQFM/ref=sr_1_3 One of the reviews (CNET) that liked the Flatenna was not a fan of the cylinder design: https://www.cnet.com/tech/home-entertainment/best-tv-antenna/ Also, Sayal Electronics has a number of them available for various prices. That all depends if you really want to endure the Sayal shopping experience for this, only slightly less hassle than complete build-it-yourself. :-) - Evan
