Toronto OTA

OTA thoughts from @digitalhit's Ian Evans. Cable free since 2011.

You might think antennas are "old-timey". But in Toronto & Montreal, they're better than skinny basic. Oh and $0/mth

More on the OTA encryption on ATSC3 signals in the US market. https://t.co/Zguo9PbanK

Good video from @AntennaManPA. #ATSC3

[Antenna Man @AntennaManPA]

😲 A coalition of TV broadcasters expressed "deep concern" about the future of ATSC 3.0 products to an appeals court if the LG/Constellation Designs ruling is not reversed. https://t.co/w4aTWpydfy

Don't fall for scam antennas. Check out @wnyovertheair's new video. https://t.co/vtpymfWG76

[Toronto OTA @TorontoOTA]

@KenFZill @getgreattv Yes, I missed how they used to air Merv and classic holiday specials.

[Toronto OTA @TorontoOTA]

Finally had confirmation from @getgreattv:

"Thanks for your patience on this matter. GET is no longer available on 49.4. You can now watch us on WNYB-4 26.4.".

Sadly, I can't get that here in Toronto. No word yet on what WNYO will do with 49.4.

[Toronto OTA @TorontoOTA]

@mvormittag @getgreattv Yeah, it's a real bummer. Some good shows on Get. Side note: Rockford Files is available as a box set and they scanned the film it was shot on so you can actually get it on Blu-ray.

[Toronto OTA @TorontoOTA]

@PeelIWG @getgreattv Yep. Gonna miss some of the shows. Guess I'll have to get the box sets. 💿

[Toronto OTA @TorontoOTA]

@appleton_banana @getgreattv It will be interesting to see what WNYO might do with 49.4.

[Toronto OTA @TorontoOTA]

@appleton_banana @getgreattv It's too bad. @getgreattv has some good shows. Gonna miss it.

[Toronto OTA @TorontoOTA]

@appleton_banana It's been a bad one for me too.

[Toronto OTA @TorontoOTA]

@appleton_banana @getgreattv

[Toronto OTA @TorontoOTA]

Okay... so it appears @getgreattv is on WNYB 26.3 in Buffalo. I can't grab that here. No idea if it'll also remain on 49.4,which is still not broadcasting right now.

[Toronto OTA @TorontoOTA]

Just rec'd a DM from Get: "Hi there! Thanks for reaching out. We have received an overwhelming response from viewers in your area and can assure you that we are working on getting this resolved as soon as possible with our technical team. We appreciate your patience on this!"

[Toronto OTA @TorontoOTA]

@appleton_banana @getgreattv I contacted them and they say they're working on it. Surprised they haven't used social media to at least issue an update.

[Toronto OTA @TorontoOTA]

4;17 am. Still no sign of @getgreattv on Buffalo 49.4. Broadcast has been audio only for several days.

It's hilarious that @NEWSMAX thinks these are bad things. 😂

@TChompson Hadn't checked in the last hour. Back for me now too.

[Toronto OTA @TorontoOTA]

Anyone else lose WIVB today?

[Toronto OTA @TorontoOTA]

@stevenjmay Usually solid for me but the weather between the two cities is playing games. 😜
