That voice sounds like Mark Daly!

We've got CIII on Channel 6 VHF here in Ottawa.

Here's my technical question: in an area like Buffalo, would a converter box scan for channels above RF 51 (such as Canadian transmitters)?

[wanderlust39]

What do you think, guys...did they overdo the Lexicon on this one?

[TELEVISIONARCHIVES]

Wow. That is a very high antenna

[DigitalImagesToront]

I heard that Canada was not switching to digital until August 15, 2010, but the stations are putting up a fight. They want to delay it. Right now in the Toronto area, the only digital broadcasts are in HD.

Not for long. 2009, the year of Digital Television. VHF and UHF frequencies will no longer be used.

[RolloSmokes]

Yes...but only south of the border. Canada won't be switching analog TV off for another five or six years after the U.S. does so next February.

[kargaroc386]

will they be switching frequency bands?

[fanotv]

88HJS, you are correct! Ch. 2 is Bancroft, ch. 27 is Peterborough.

[Keaster2000]

Global put a transmitter somewhere in Fort Erie (Practically in Buffalo's backyard) in the mid 90's It's Channel 55 analog. Not on the air in digital yet but I think it will be channel 60.

[fanotv]

I've been able to watch reliable Global signals on channels 2 and 27 in Prince Edward County.

[88HJS]

I'm guessing those are the Bancroft and Peterborough transmitters, respectively?

[tvlondon]

I notice in that coverage map at 0:24 Prince Edward County is not getting a Global signal.
