   AA>> Only ever had OTA TV here.   
      
   RM> OTA as in by antenna? I'd recently heard that was coming back.   
      
   AA>OTA == Over The Air.  Yes.. analog specifically. Albiet OTA can   
     >refer to digital broadcasts now, I guess.   
      
   AA>We could get CBC, CTV and Global.   
      
   Okay, that's what I had originally, but they started dropping off.   
      
   Someone else mentioned it to me and said that the OTA signals were   
   coming back, as if it were required, and a person they knew with   
   an antenna was getting 10 or 12 stations, but likely down closer   
   to Toronto. I have my doubts you or I would have much luck these   
   days but I could bewrong if it's coming back. I should try some   
   rabbit ears on my old TV..   B)
