Well that was interesting. I went there and it *appears* I should be
able to get 25 stations altogether, although I think a lot of them are
repeats from the same major network. It did mention though that the
information is about 8 years old so I don't know if it's still accurate.

They did show that for almost all of them I'd need a very high quality
outdoor antenna (tower?) to pick up though.

It even showed me 8 channels I could get Analog.

Both showed CTV and Global feeds. The digital ones added CBC and TVO
as well, and SRC which is French I believe..

Thanks for mentioning that anyways..   B)
