In Canada, Analog TV is not phase out. Digital TV is mostly in the major centers. ( Toronto, Montreal, Vancover, Ottawa... ) Digital TV just start last September. But the analog TV did stay. Mostly in the Rural area and Cottage country. So when I was at the cottage ( In Belleville, ON area ), the TV signal was still there. Those TV company desided to keep the analog format. Most folks can not have access new TV with digital converter and digital converter in a rural area. In a bigger city, well it is digital TV. Good thing have a have a converter. But my converter is "un-stable". I will have to buy a new one. To get a lot more channels, I am building an antenna base on Fractals - Anything Goes. My design will have 4 of them, just like a multi-bay bow tie design. That was interresting reading BTW.
