Great site guys! Thanks for including Canada! Well done.

Some edits for the Montreal/Plattsburgh/Burlington area...

There are sub channels for both PBS VT & NY.

VPT (PBS Vermont Public Television)
33.1 is digital (the only one you have listed)
33.2 is only 480i digital
33.3 is only 480i digital
33.4 is only 480i digital

WCFE (PBS New York)
57.1 is digital (the only one you have listed)
57.2 is only 480i digital
57.3 is only 480i digital


WPTZ 5.1 has a secondary channel.
It is the THIS network on 5.2 only 480i digital.
The THIS network is all over the USA in multiple markets.


WCAX 3.1 has a secondary channel too.
It is basically weather and runs the news if a sports event interferes.
The channel is 3.2 and is only 480i digital.




I am currently pointed to Mount Mansfield in the US at 167 degrees and can pull in 15 digital and 9 analog channels.
2.1, 3.1, 3.2, 5.1, 5.2, 6.1, 17.1, 33.1, 33.2, 33.3, 33.4, 35.1, 57.1, 57.2, 57.3


I am in the middle of the island with the antenna on a mast at about 35 feet above ground. Mount Royal does not interfere with my trajectory to the US from my location.

As Canada comes closer to the August 2011 CRTC digital mandate, I will provide you with more informaiton when newer digital channels go live.

Once again, I really appreicate your site and I am looking forward to its future!


P.S. Not sure if it is possible, but some tweaking of the STARTMAPS section may be needed for areas in higer altitude, yet actually much further from the transmitters.
My bother lives in Rawdon, Quebec which is postal code J0K 1S0.
Putting in his data shows very little sucess, but because of the altitude, he can actually receive many more channels than I can from the Island of Montreal.

Is there a site that provides info on true "feet above MEAN SEA LEVEL"?
Does the STARTMAPS database take this into account?
