   Hello Rob!   
      
   ** On Tuesday 16.09.25 - 09:33, you wrote to me:   
      
    AA>> Only ever had OTA TV here.  I bought an LG HDD/DVR (don't   
    >> remember the year) and it was great to "pause" OTA and come   
    >> back to the program later, and even skip the commercials.   
      
    RM> OTA as in by antenna? I'd recently heard that was coming back.   
      
   OTA == Over The Air.  Yes.. analog specifically. Albiet OTA can     
   refer to digital broadcasts now, I guess.   
      
   We could get CBC, CTV and Global.  The antenna has a rotor     
   (that has long since ceased up) ..but the East direction was     
   still pretty good for CBC and excellent for Global.  Global was     
   the last hold out.  When Global went off the air, I reverted to     
   DVDs or the things I could watch from collecting online - store     
   on a USB stick - and play them on modest media-play connected     
   to the TV.
