Eric,

What TV stations, if any, do you receive locally? You mentioned getting up to five stations on an antenna the night before your last post.

Where is Tweed, Ontario in relation to, say, Toronto or Windsor? If you are near the former, you might be getting network affiliates, including PBS, from Buffalo; OTOH, if you are closer to Windsor, you would likely be receiving the eight network stations from Detroit (plus CBET 9, formerly CKLW-TV in Windsor, as well as several affiliates of the TVOntario network, all of which are on UHF channels).

I cannot quite believe your town is so remote that you do not receive any local channels. However, if you are in fact "out in the sticks", miles away from the nearest stations (as I am, as I will explain), you should be able to get cable or put up a satellite system. I live in a very small town in northeastern Ohio, some 45 miles east of Cleveland's TV transmitters (which are actually located in Parma, Ohio, a western suburb of Cleveland), and do not get good reception of those channels on an antenna. However, I have Comcast digital cable which brings in every station in the city, as well as Chicago superstation WGN, Atlanta's TBS Superstation, TNT, et al., crystal clear--like a picture postcard.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I suspect you must have cable as well, as you mentioned TV Land in your post.
