[mythtv-users] Updating Toronto Ontario OTA channel map...

[Colin McGregor]

As noted in a past e-mail Schedules Direct is now offering digital
over the air channel listings for locations in Canada, which is nice.
But a quick glance at the current line-up shows some ... issues. High
powered Buffalo NY analog stations are still listed and some new
digital stations are not listed.

I sent in a note to Schedules Direct noting the most glaring of
issues. I received back a response that could be summed up as ...
okay, what should things look like?

My location in Toronto is less than ideal (some large tall buildings
nearby) and my equipment not ideal (a good but not top of the line
antenna mounted on the roof). So, before I respond the Schedules
Direct I would like to know what the ideal channel line-up for Toronto
should be? In other words if you had a first rate antenna on a tall
tower (or tall building) with a first rate TV what channels could you
reasonably hope to get. My first pass at that answer (for which I
relied in part on the data at : http://www.remotecentral.com/hdtv/) is
below:

What errors (if any) are there in the above, and should I be including
any stations from Rochester, NY?

Thanks.
