OTA Results for the Metro Toronto and Central GTA south of Highway 407 using INDOOR OTA gear only.
I noticed this application a few months ago but there is a catch. The application uses a directional antenna mounted on Grand Island pointing towards Buffalo. From the looks of the radiating pattern, we should get a stronger signal over here, but some areas will get nothing at all. If it gets approved at a decent power range, we may have better luck than the current 650w in the GTA.rob50312 said:Wnyo has made a application to move transmitter to wutv site and increase power.Hopefully it will get approved but crtc may object as they want channel 34 in Peterboro for chex-dt.
Channel 69 analog is on First Canadian Place. The original low power transmitter on channel 44 was in the north end of the city.Tom.F.1 said:...and i think OMNI is going to go DTV from the north end of T.O. where thier ch.69 analog transmitter is.
I just checked and Industry Canada has 66 located on the CN Tower:HDTV101 said:...66 for some reason is stronger when I turn my antenna about 5 degrees to the left of where the CN tower is. This makes me think that T1’s 66 is on another building like First Canadian Place.
That was last summer when I check that when I first put up the antenna... maybe since then it was moved to the CN Tower?stampeder said:I just checked and Industry Canada has 66 located on the CN Tower:

Am I missing something ?
I wasn't aware that CFTO-DT was doing multicasting. I'm pretty sure its single channel DTV 24 hours a day. I do know that their PSIP data has been behaving awfully strange, and there's a thread about it in the OTA Forum that you should look through if you haven't already.peter m. wilson said:I'm guessing that since all these networks still have to do multicasting which might be a drain on their transmitters some might choose not to fire up their HD transmitter unless their about to broadcast in HD...
