CBC and SRC comes from the CBC building's rooftop. Here in Greenfield Park it comes in a 95% on both. WCFE comes in at 75%
Thanks... good to know. I've got an almost direct view of the CBC building.yipikyer said:CBC and SRC comes from the CBC buildind's rooftop. Here in Greenfield Park it comes in a 95% on both. WCFE comes in at 75%
stampeder said:Kafou, what is your location? Also do you know which brand/model of antenna that old one is, or if not can you describe what it looks like?
To me, it all comes down to the selectivity of the Tuner. I have an older sony(4 years old), a Samsung Tuner and the Sanyo. The sanyo win it easily. Now, the Samsung is the first generation Atsc tuner, the sony, i don't know, but i have difficulty getting the Digital PBS station (comes in at about 55%). The Sanyo one comes in at 90% most of the times. Also, channel 3 and 5 comes in much better on the Sanyo without trapping ch.2 and 6. On the Sony, i need those trap.Lamhorn said:I don't have the TV yet Yipikyer as I am still debating if the Sony 30xs955 wouldn't be better. I could get it in the US for about 1000$ CDN. Not that much more than 750$ (TX incl.) for the Sanyo. Any thoughts?
Personal note: I used to live in St. Hubert, Jacques Cartier, and St. Bruno at different times when Dad was in the air force, so I should have known your direction! That was a long, long time ago and I haven't been back to visit in about 5 years so that's my excuse.Lamhorn said:...by pointing the antenna south for vermont, Montreal will not be in the rear but west at 90 degrees. So I guess the combo 936SR might work without a rotor.

When everything was still functionning ok, I could watch the 22 (WVNY) and 33 (WETK?) using a big UHF/VHF/FM antenna (& booster) that was on a rotor/rotator on my tower. I think, but I'm not sure, that the 22 came in clearer than the 33 though but it was watchable...For the U.S. nets, if you currently get 22 and 33 in analog, you'll be fine for all the digital nets.
After that date will we still need a VHF antenna or could I install only a UHF one?As for the availability of the U.S. networks in Montreal, construction is still taking place. Although the towers were supposed to be up on August 8th, someone reported on AVS that they have been delayed until the 21st. After that, antenna, transmitter, and wiring are to be done, bringing stations to estimate a tentative on-air date in the October to November time-frame.
