    I would have thought you might have an over the air antenna so you could watch it on your local CTV station since you don't have cable.

    I've tried both TV's and they no longer pick up anything but static. The TV upstairs (14 yr old Sharp) had one of the best built in antennas made, now it's just snow

    The reason is probably that everything is broadcast digital now over the air instead of analog. At least that's what they did here in the US and I bet Canada is the same way. You need a different type of antenna to pick up over the air stuff now.

    Things like these:

    Yeah I read about this a couple of years back and when you think about it, it's actually a step back in time.

    Back when digital broadcasting was relatively new, my Dad's TV had three varieties of internal antennas where usually only one type was put into a TV.

    It picked up extra over the air channels since day one and did it well.

    I haven't tried buying an antenna since canceling the cable and living in the cave before time...

    I bet if you get one of those, you could at least get your local channels again.

    It's weird, but kinda nice living in Amish times. I have one radio and the computer. If neither are on the house is pretty quiet.

    I got into full panic mode yesterday trying to get a live stream right before the game Always had a fallback in the past...taught me a lesson about first world problems once again.

    White conservatives need to start having kids again. Sorry if that's racist, but it's true.

    Most of those stupid rebate cards always say wait 8 to 10 weeks for delivery. It's ridiculous.

    My Dad fought with a company over some sort of rebate, not a card.

    He sent them multiple letters, faxed them info, endless phone calls...

    I think some companies do this just to wear people down. At one point he gave up, but not after saying to me about halfway through trying - It's the principle of the matter!
