Problem with the above antennas are that they are focused on WiFi
antenna, which could be neat / fun, but not of much interest / use for
HDTV...

The above two links are focused on what are sometimes referred to as
bow-tie antennas (as the receiving elements do kind-of look like a
bow-tie). These antenna are considered good for UHF channels (at
present all the digital TV stations in the GTA are UHF, so this is
fine...). There are a number of similar plans for these antennas on
the Internet. There are also commercially made versions of these
antennas available at some local electronic shops...
