The CTV Toronto signal on RF40 is down too. It started off at about 12:05 with plenty of signal strength, but no "program" - I have no access to TSReader at the moment sadly, would have been interesting to see what was going on there.
Analog 9 shut down about 12:09 for me,
I'm "tuned" to RF9 waiting to see if the Digital starts up.

And it seems to have at about 12:13

At Sheppard/401, I'm getting about 93/100 bars, with an SNR rating of 31dB and the AGC is at about 34%
This is with my original CM4228, and no preamp at all.

CFTO-DT is live as of 12:13 but I'm not getting audio over Windows Media Player or my TV.

CHWI-26 Windsor is up, but they seem to still be adjusting things as the transmission is cutting in and out.

UPDATE: It was up, and I could view the video for a brief moment, but now it is broadcasting no data at all as of 12:29.

My Terk facing north-east (Midtown T.O.) is getting CTV RF9 100% signal strength and 83% Quality, 100% Symbol Quality.

RF10 is WHEC, not CKVR for me right now...

Great to see CFPL 10.1 London (CTV Two) is broadcasting OTA in HD!

Not getting sound on CFTO right now with Homerun's QuickView. Don't want to rescan my Myth box right now...might as well wait for the morning of the 1st.

I get Akron, Ohio tonight but nothing at all on 16. Although I get CTV Two on cable, this means I'll be missing out on their HD broadcast. London does not come in very well at all because of the direction my apartment faces (except 51.1)

Same here with CH16. Signal is not the issue i don't think.

Heh, with 26 gone i just got WBDT. Can't wait till 16 analog is gone. Been a major torch here for a real long time.
Um, isn't CHWI still going to be on RF 16, and CHWI-26 (formally CHWI-60) will remain on RF 26?

CHWI-26 is now up and broadcasting in 1080i, with full EPG info!

(Looks like I won't be able to receive CHWI-16 here in Windsor anymore, however.)

Yep there will be some co-channel interference between CKVR and WHEC...

Shortly after 12am, CTV's analog channels 9,10,13 went off air as expected.
Analog signals 10 &13 were always snowy here, but analog 9 was alway pretty strong.

Now I have no 10, no 13, but 9.1 is coming in though only at about 70% @22db

2 Losses: channel 10 & 13

I am getting CFTO on rf 9 here in Stoney Creek just as strong as I got rf 40 an hour ago. Sound is also coming in Dolby Digital.

Getting CHWI 16.1/16.1 here in the northern Detroit suburbs, but all pixelated right now. Signal strength is pretty solid around 53-56 on my tv's meter, but it's a tropo night, with WJET 24.1/24.1 from Erie, PA and the major four Cleveland stations all coming in right now.

Since CIII 22.1/22.1 is coming in right now at about 57 signal strength, and that station is usually around 40-ish during mid-days (without tropo effects), perhaps CHWI and CIII will be very close in signal strength most of the time here (assuming both stations are at their normal/final power).

I'm worried about the true signal strength now because I'm seeing most Rochester stations at 100% from Mississauga and getting Syracuse and other unknowns I suspect from KW area.

Um, isn't CHWI still going to be on RF 16, and CHWI-26 (formally CHWI-60) will remain on RF 26?Correct, however when the two stations went off air before coming back to digital i briefly got WBDT 26 and WSMH 16 on them due to the tropo tonight.

@dcorreia yeah it's actually a weird night to see what the new landscape will be like. My TVO's been all weird tonight, I'm getting nutty tropo and I just lost WNYO. Sounds weird but I just want some fall weather. :-)

I'm getting CFTO Toronto CTV on rf9 even on my 4221hd not amplified. Reception is perfect and strong -- full bars. Good news for those in East York hoping to use the wrong (UHF-only) antenna for VHF-high channel 9.

By the way, PSIP with show descriptions. Good job, CFTO!

CFPL (CTV Two) 10.1 is coming in strong for me, but I don't receive CKCO (CTV) 13.1 from Kitchener, ON, as both CTV stations switched to digital tonight.
I was able to pickup CKCO channel 13 in analogue with some snow, but now nothing. :(
Perhaps CKCO is not broadcasting at 12kW ERP yet, or maybe 12kW ERP is too low?
