CHEX digital conversion Several posts regarding CHEX converting to digital have been moved to the Lake Ontario North Shore Station Status thread. |

CHCH 11RF screen size re-format? CHCH 11RF is having some feed glitches, popping, static, freezes on their main news within the live coverage framed portion. The banners and side views are not being affected, so likely it is due to some technical feed problems while they re-format the screen size and layout. Earlier in the day I noticed that the layout had been resized and reorganized to fit the 16:9 format at little better. Could they be getting their HDformat better aligned to go to their UHF debut soon? Maybe! |

It is CKVP (CTV2) testing on RF 42.
Strange they would use a CHCH feed. Guess they have special permissions to rebroadcast a competitor feed? Is this the signal from the Hamilton tower...or the Fonthill one (don't have these two proposed signals worked out yet in my head). Good signal when it was in...hopefully when they go fully live, it's just as good. |

Very strange event CHCH does not broadcast or have any repeaters that use 42RF or 42psip. |

I'm getting CHCH on RF 42. First time for this. Tropo? Isn't 42 supposed to be for the new CTV2? *UPDATE* That capture was around 1:00am. As of now the signal is gone. |

| El Gran Chico | There were interventions filed to GeorgeMx's point. I agree as well. I'm betting the RF 15 will get about as many complaints the underpowered RF 11 did last year. |

| majortom | 18 is in use in London by TVO. |

| ota_canuck | Or back to UHF 18RF? |

CHCH Channel Assignment You have to wonder if channel 15 is still the best option for CHCH, given the fact that CBC, SRC and TVO have abandoned analog and don't intend to activate replacement digital transmitters. Channel 15 is a bad assignment, hobbled by the contour protected 'community' station serving Buffalo. The overall Industry Canada digital frequency plan allowed for all existing analogue allocations, not just operating stations, to get a digital channel. The frequency plan together with the actions of CBC, SRC and TVO, results in all kinds of smaller and even medium sized locations having channel assignments that are not likely to be used in the foreseeable future, if ever. CHCH should work with Industry Canada to move a clear UHF channel into Hamilton that is not compromised by an existing Canadian or US station. Alternatively, they could stick with channel 15, find a new allocation for the Buffalo station and pay for the cost of the channel change. I believe that moving from high VHF to a compromised UHF channel is a bad move for CHCH and they are wise to delay the change. A directional pattern to protect Kingston and Rochester coupled with much higher power on channel 11 could achieve better results than the current channel 15 plan. CTV put 45 kilowatts into the directional pattern on channel 10 from London which seems to work for the Kitchener area. With more power, a small high VHF antenna would work in many locations and allow for VHF/UHF combining rather than two UHF antennas pointing in different directions. Combining UHF antennas pointing in different directions has a technical penalty as the antenna pointing in the 'wrong' direction for a given channel increases the potential for interference from co-channel stations during periods of high tropospheric activity. There may also be multipath and signal to noise consequences particularly if separate pre-amps are used. |
