thanks Chris, I replied to your other post asking several questions. I think you answered most of them here. Curious if you are in a house or highrise (if so what floor). Being close to the lake definitely does help. I am in North York and have troubles with some of the channels.
TVGOS was the digital signal that gave TV's an on screen TV guide. It would also provide channel id and programming info. Your TV doesn't just magically know whats on, and I was surprised to see the station and program info in your pictures.
I was under the impression this info was no longer transmitted. My TV hasn't shown details or had the clock be correct for many months now.
A little digging and I have found that the majority of newer TV's will pick up PSIP from each station that broadcasts it with their digital signal. So no TV guide, but at least station and program info. I guess is should re sync my tuner and see what happens.

It depends entirely on how high you are off the ground, and what the terrain is like. For example mine is fairly low, and I get 5,9,19,25,40 (sometimes), 41-1, 41-2, 47-1, 57-1. If the weather is just right I can add 23-1,23-2 to the list, but I have not seen those in the last month or so.

So you're getting mostly the Canadian channels only.

I'm in north york as well,close to hwy404 and finch,using channel master 4221(in my bedroom on second floor),hard to get NBC,FOX,looking for another antenna with better range to get those channels,please advise.thanks.
They make 8 bay antennas (basically double what you have) If you can you should try to get the antenna outside and up higher. This would be your best bet to attempt to get more channels.

Thanks for reply.Do I have to go multi-direction one?CN tower and grand island is about 20-40 degree different from where I live,but channel master doesn't have multi-direction 8-bay HD antenna.Digitalwave has it but the build quality is really bad.Any suggestion?
