Back to your original request for help with reception of Canadian stations in Victoria and Vancouver, BC... http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wr...60b56f2de6febd

CHAN, real channel 22 will have significant co-channel interference when KCPQ builds their CH-22 transmitter on Capitol Hill.

CBUT, real channel 43 is predicted to arrive at your location with a NM of -10.7 dB but that does not include the effect of the adjacent channel interference from KFFV, real channel 44.

As you go down the list further, the prospects for Canadian channels gets even worse.

From your location, a 260' tower and a Wade PB-81-BB or PB-82-BB would offer line of sight access and possibly the F/B ratio and directivity needed to receive several of the Canadian signals.

A remotely operated HTPC or SlingBox in Bellingham would seem more piratical, IMO.
