And in every other nook and cranny in Canada and the United States. For Northern Canada I use official IRC Canadian data.

The app had 3 5/5 ratings and suddenly someone rates the app as 1/5 because it doesn't work in Edmonton when it clearly does. Oh well.

I only wish they had bothered to email me or checked their preference options. Perhaps in the next upgrade I will automatically select "use IRC data" if further north than 200 miles of the US border.


For Northern Canada the following preference needs to be set (Include Industry Canada Data) and the result shown below.

Last year I experimented with a couple of HDHomerun units. I wrote some scripts to access the units to allow some DXing experiments. Scans are usually performed every hour on two HDHOMERUN units, with a total of 4 tuners. One unit is connected to a Delhi CYD-1430 UHF antenna. The other unit is connected to my homemade channel 21 yagi. The direction of the antennas varies as I move it around for testing, sometimes towards Plattsburg, occasionally Montreal, but usually Watertown. If both antennas receive the station the table will only show the last scan, which is with the Delhi. 

My regular reception is with a third antenna (Winegard HD-8800) directly pointed towards South Coulton N.Y. and is not shown here, it receives 22 channels 24/7.

The results are available on this web page/widget.

The results are also available on a submenu in my free OTA Ottawa app.

A couple of years ago, I wrote an experimental tv listings widget. It lists all programs/stations currently available to OTA (Over-The-Air) users. It can be seen below. The program resides on my secondary server and may be down occasionally. The experimental listings widget can be directly accessed. It uses some of the same database as my OTA Ottawa app
