Yes and no.  The VHF low channels (2-6) are not very good for digital 
and the upper UHF channels have been re-allocated to the 4G cell 
network, but yes, existing UHF & VHF high antennas will work.  VHF low 
antennas are now useless.  To my knowledge all digital stations in the 
Toronto/Buffalo area are on UHF, except CKVR (Ch 10) and CHCH (Ch 11).
