That's surprising that you can't get CH in Welland. You
are much closer to Hamilton than I am. Here in Fort Erie
I can at least get a signal but usually too low to lock.
Feel fortunate that you can get CBC, I have no luck with
that one at all.
Thanks DFE, you've confirmed what my AVS user group is saying.
We still love our MyHD/MDP-130s, our American cousins are lucky in that their stations consider 100kw to be low power, as I suspected 20Kw seems to be the threshold that MyHD can lock on to. If I win my current bids at ebay.ca the plan is to build a low-cost HTPC with either the Fusion Gold or the Fusion 5 or the new model made for PCIe slots and pull a 130 out of one of my two comps here. Why that combination? There is a freeware electronic program guide that functions with both cards. So I'm gambling that the Fusion series has a tuner that is better at pulling in the weak signals. Aside from news, what does CH have that we can't get from Buffalo? Nothing! So screw them! Screw the CRTC for not letting us have our station in St. Catharines!
