A far cry from the ~30 stations we can get down here.              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)              ---        * SLMR Rob * ... Gotta run...
