Re: Another OTA TV Repack Possible with reduced room for TV channels
Sounds like Fox 29 will soon be even tougher to pick up on the Canadian side.
Is there a Canadian version of this? Sometimes CHCH is hard to pick up in Toronto as is...

Hoping the new repack does not get approved but if it does and OTA hangs on wonder if we might see more stations coming back to VHF.

Re: Another OTA TV Repack Possible with reduced room for TV channels
This might be one answer to a possible repack and loss of spectrum - cable by TV antenna.
Proving everything old is news again.
I doubt this will happen. But it's a really interesting idea, even though I'm not a fan of so-called Next Gen TV.
"[The concept] proposed that the television antenna — long associated with free, ad-supported broadcast — could also serve as the gateway to a low-cost, subscription TV experience. No cable operator, no satellite dish, no installation visit. Just OTA spectrum."
