Yeah, there's a WBNF-CA channel 15 on Grand Island, owned
by Faith Broadcasting. It's either 9.2kW south-east directional
or 27kW directional if they've acted upon their construction
permit yet.

SunTV in Hamilton is about 45 miles away and only 4.1kW,
so I guess this is allowed.

Channel 15 is interesting around here-Dundas and Greenwood. I normally receive "Star-Ray TV" on this channel. This is a semi-pirate low power analog station at Main+Danforth in Toronto. It was licensed as an experimental station by Industry Canada and has continued after the license expired. You can see their antenna on a building on Main St. just south of the railway tracks on the west side. There is a small radome partway up a large receiving antenna tower on the building. If you look in the storefronts, one has TV equipment and usually a visible monitor with the programming. Google for "star-ray tv toronto" Their website is here http://www.srtv.on.ca and a coverage map [Link: srtv.on.ca]. This guy has been fighting with the CRTC for years trying to get a license.

I also receive Buffalo quite often, usually just the sound overtop of Star-Ray and diagonal lines over the NTSC. Is this Hamilton? They were both coming in last night. I saw some pictures on the web of ATSC interference in NTSC and it looked different, just random noise. Anyone care to comment who can receive both Buffalo and Hamilton?
