Local OTA

[DetFan]

I have a question for Detroit Area people.
My sister wants to jump ship to D*, but her husband will not because he has to have is Hockey Night in Canada, which is obviously a Windsor station.

Is there a way to pick that up with an Indoor OTA? I have one, but really never thought about it.

I live in the Buffalo area and pick up the CBC (HNIC) via OTA.

Thanks, I guess I will just need to hook mine up and see what I can find.

Works much better outdoors than indoors.

Well I get near 100% signal from my OTA, but I cannot get it to pick up the windsor market, and ideas as to how?
I cannot just put in Windsors Zip code its different, I think it has letters in it.

Windsor Ont? I'm told D tuner does not support canadian. I'm told what you CAN do is to specify an american zip that contains the same channel number as the canadian zip.

For example, 5.1 is CBC in toronto. I can put in a montana zip as it has a 5.1 channel. (Thanks Indiana)

Ah well!!

Canada is not scheduled to go all digital til 2011 is it possible that this channel is not yet broadasting digitally---or that there is no PSIP data so that the receive r is not mapping it to 9.1?

Just checked---that cahnnel is apparently not yet broadcasting digitally
