No, KFFV (44.x) is the only channel my Sony (yes, it's HDTV with ATSC tuner) can't get. All the other digital channels it gets fine like the Artec DTV converter box.
So, like I said, I suspect because it's an older Sony model, its ATSC tuner is not as sensitive as the Artec DTV converter box I bought in 2009 as US went Digital.
Is there a listing of newer HDTVs ranked my tuner sensitivity so I know which model to buy for my next TV so I can pick up those weak Vancouver stations (get a better chance of digital lock on low NM values as listed in tvfool)?
