Is that an over the air signal that you are talking about? I could see them putting out a stronger signal which would override the weak signal and then imprint what commercialism they want to into the programming. I am just curious.
Go Hawks.
P.S. I was a Radar Technician for 22 years.
it is getting the signal. it would be fox 29.1 over the air and CTV would have its own Canadian OTA signal.
now CTV or the canadian network does something called sim substitution. they take all the fox feed but then overlay their own commercials etc.
this is what they broadcast OTA but if you can get the fox signal, you get fox.
here in Toronto we are close enough to the larger broadcast towers that feed buffalo to get many of the main stations over the air (OTA). i recall that the signals are not as strong out of Bellingham or other areas closer to the border for people to get feed from the US in Vancouver. I could be TOTALLY wrong on this so do not quote me.
for me, i am 16 floors up and get all majors over the air from grand island in buffalo.
i paid 30 bucks for an OTA antenna and honestly, for the last 4 years i have not had to deal with the crappy, i mean crappy crappy CTV broadcast. i feel for those stuck with it, i really do.
