Not quite true. Channel 15 (WBNF-CA) is a low powered analog only
religious TV station operating out of Buffalo, NY. I have received
WBNF-CA, always with more snow than signal, but it can be received in
Toronto. While not getting  WBNF-CA would not be an issue for me (why
get upset over something I would never get well), the lack of TVO and
the inability to connect older analog only equipment to my Linux box
would be an issue...

I have been helping to maintain the GTALug MythTV web page:

Some of the hardware bits and external links could be of interest to you...
