Over the air TV?
I'm bored of paying Cogeco around 50 bucks a month so I cant watch adverts every 5 minutes! I was wondering if anyone living near the border (I'm 6 miles over the river from Clayton, NY) has tried out an american ATSC digital receiver?

Re: Over the air TV?
Ive posted quite a bit about this before if you search. I'm in mid-town Toronto with a (large-ish) antenna in my living room. High floor, clear view of CN tower. We get about 23 HD channels OTA. Some of the US ones take a bit of messing around to get, but overall very good. I split the signal to the TV and to a Mac Mini which acts as a PVR.

For fun I built a HD antenna (using one of the youtube guides) and sure enough the TV channels mapped to the map created on the TV Fool web site.
