Channel Guide for Various providers in Canada

[bigoranget]

I have started to build the navigation of the website. Most of the line-ups are now accessible through the websites navigation.

cogeco has nfl network hd and sportsnet east hd

[bigoranget]

What channel is NFL Network HD on? Channel 746? Can you let me know what City you live in? Are you getting both Sportsnet East and Ontario in HD?

[burgoonster]

I live in Brockville Ontario and yes NFL Network HD is 746 and no I dont get sportsnet Ontario in my area just East

Just a quick note about OTA Listings for Montreal and Sherbrooke, WPTZ-DT2 is also a CW-affiliate, with primetime 8-10pm, weekends "Vortex" and syndicated talk show.

Sherbrooke gets most of Vermont OTA stations plus PBS WVTB-DT, see the OTA column : http://www.illicotech.com/NumSherbRes.html

Edit: ah yes, when adding HD channels to the lists, some lines have to be removed from "Missing HD Channels By Provider" ;)

Are you sure that Sherbrooke residents can get the Vermont stations easily OTA? I ran tvfool reports for southern portions of the city and it shows that they could possibly get WCAX but most show as not likely to receive under normal conditions.

[bigoranget]

I think I get it, Videotron's Sherbrooke system extends to the communities just north of the border. Those systems are more subject to over-the-air interference.

The Missing HD Channels Guide should be up to date now. I had to make changes for Telus, MTS, Videotron and Shaw over the past week.

Since I'm from Sherbrooke, it easier for me to answer that. For the Vermont stations, the south area is block by Mont Bellevue. For the rest (like 80 %), we can get some. Here is what I can get with a CM-4228HD on a balcony, starting with the strongest non-local station :

Easy, working 100% of the time :
WCAX-DT CBS UHF-22: Quite strong
WCFE-DT PBS UHF-38 : Nothing at all on TVFool maps but it always been a strong one (ok, it's from NY state ! ;-) )
WVTB-DT PBS UHF-18 : Relay of WETK-DT PBS.

Average, working 90 % of the time :
WETK-DT PBS UHF-32 : Quite watchable but could be difficult with bad weather.
WFFF-DT FOX UHF-43 : Same thing as the last one.

Difficult, working 70% of the time. OK with a big outdoor antenna :
WPTZ-DT NBC UHF-14 : This signal is limited by design for the Sherbrooke area.

Really difficult, almost never work :
WVNY-DT ABC VHF-13 : That's a tough one everywhere !

The north area could get some Trois-Rivières stations (CIVC-DT and CKTM-DT) but it's not common.

The Bell Fibe line-up has been updated;

Additionally Bell added Canal de l'Assemblée nationale HD, BBC World News HD, Aux HD. M3 HD will be added on Sept 30. Also ATN and TV Japan are now HD on Bell Fibe. Not sure when they switched over.

[InMontreal]

On september 13, Shaw Direct announced they added AddikTV HD, Casa HD and Zeste HD. No channel number specified.

[bigoranget]

I don't think they are being carried yet. Maybe they are coming soon but no online listings show them as being carried.

[bigoranget]

They were added but they were added today along with Knowledge Network HD, AXN Movies, Sony Movie Channel, MGM Channel and Warner Films.

The 'Missing HD Channels' page for Bell TV does not list the following channel which they do not carry:

RDS Info HD

[CDN Viewer]

RDS Info HD has still not been added to the list of missing channels- why??

Also, the following channel listing for Bell TV is incorrect:

ERT World (Ch. 714) no longer exists, this channel is currently airing programming from Greek Cinema
(http://www.lyngsat-logo.com/logo/tv/..._cinema_us.jpg)

[bigoranget]

Missing HD channel page updated.

I think the company that runs ERT World Canada is only offering the Greek Cinema programming on a temp basis. Probably just until the contract with Bell runs out. It's technically still doing business as ERT World Canada. I imagine at some point Bell will pick up Alpha Sat just like Rogers and Videotron did.

Thanks for updating the missing channels page.

Yes its only airing Greek Cinema temporarily until the new public broadcaster in Greece re-launches- at least that is what I was told. Your guess is as good as mine as to when that will happen, they haven't even re-launched the domestic service so who the heck knows when/if the satellite channel will ever relaunch?! Regardless, this channel is no longer ERT World Canada so I think you should update your listings to reflect that.

Interesting thought about the broadcaster airing temp programming until the contract runs out although would there not be some sort of out clause in the contract for Bell allowing them to drop or replace the channel if programming changes or viewership declines?! I am hoping they add Alpha Sat as well as it would be more popular with subscribers then the current programming, at least IMO.
